Last fall we shared information about the GSA Global Millets Expo scheduled at Purdue University. Here is updated information on this important event, now scheduled for Fri. 11 - Thu. 12 April 2025in West Lafayette, Indiana. For details, including registration, hotel, and proposals for presentations, see: https://ag.purdue.edu/events/department/foodsci/2025/04/gsa-global-millets-e... Please note that if you are interested in presenting (spoken or poster), the deadline for submissions is 31 March. This seems like an important event for networking and exchange of information related to millets, and we at NAMA are in various stages of considering or planning participation. Description from the conference webpage linked above: "Welcome to the Global Millets Expo at Purdue University, a premier event uniting government bodies, universities and key stakeholders from around the world to elevate the global presence and availability of millet, a group of ancient grains with deep roots in African and Asian agriculture. These small-seeded grasses are not only highly nutritious but also incredibly resilient, thriving in harsh climates with minimal water compared to traditional staples like wheat and rice. As the world faces growing challenges in food security, sustainable agriculture, and malnutrition, millets offer a promising solution. This expo aims to harness the rising global interest in these climate-resilient and gluten-free grains, particularly in regions like the United States, where millet has been underutilized. Join us in exploring the immense potential of millet to revolutionize agriculture and contribute to a more sustainable and secure food future."
