Chef Pierre Thiam on the Future Fork podcast (26 Aug. 2024)

by Don Osborn

As we close out August, in which fonio is the millet of the month (along with related Digitarias), I'd like to share info on a recent podcast featuring Chef Pierre Thiam, who has certainly done more than any other individual to introduce fonio to the world. The podcast in Paul Newnham's Future Fork series, is entitled "The importance of agricultural diversity" (26 August 2024. 34:56). Link and episode description follow: https://omny.fm/shows/future-fork/pierre-thiam "Pierre Thiam is an Author, Activist, and the Executive Chef at Teranga and NOK by Alara. His restaurants allow him to showcase West African cuisine with a focus on sustainability. He founded Yolélé to support smallholder farms in the Sahel region of Africa and advocate for the nutritious West African grain, Fonio. Pierre has also written four cookbooks so people can enjoy African cuisine at home. "In this episode, Pierre shares how his passion for food took him from Dakar to New York City and how he uses his position to celebrate and preserve traditional food cultures. Pierre also shares how he promotes sustainable food systems, supports small farmers, and raises awareness about underutilised crops such as Fonio." DO, EL, MI, US NAMA

An insider's view of Yolélé's fonio business

by Don Osborn

Two podcast interviews earlier this year with Philip Teverow, the co-founder with Chef Pierre Thiam of the Yolélé brand line of fonio products, offer insights into their company's vision and operations. Both are good conversations, and altho some information is repeated in different ways, there are other differences. "Founder Feature: Philip Teverow of Yolélé," The Startup CPG Podcast, 28 Feb. 2025 (33:04) https://startupcpg.transistor.fm/episodes/founder-feature-philip-teverow-of… "Discovering Fonio: A Grain of Hope for Sustaining Agriculture," The FoodTalk Show, 21 May 2025 (35:00) https://foodtalk.co.uk/podcasts/discovering-fonio-a-grain-of-hope-for-susta… One interesting thing I learned was that Yolélé's introduction of fonio chips was prompted in large part by the fact that snacks are more suitable for displays than their other products, and displays in stores are a great way to boost brand awareness. In various past posts on this list, podcasts with Pierre Thiam have also been mentioned - https://lists.millets2023.space/archives/search?mlist=collab%40lists.millet… ... and of course he was a guest on our June 2023 Millets Webinar - https://youtu.be/c7pyH6ucN2U Don Osborn, PhD (East Lansing, MI, US) North American Millets Alliance

Two items on fonio

by Don Osborn

Fonio is our "millet of the month" in July. Here are a couple of items on this tiny grain: "Everything You Need to Know About Fonio with JJ Johnson | Food Network https://youtu.be/VWgTdguxcd0?si=yJMkxg9XKd2VcZA3 This video is very short but packs two ways of cooking fonio into 3 minutes in a listenable and understandable format. (Might be a template for other millets as well?) "Reclaiming The Giant Among African Grains: The Rise Of Fonio," by Tiana Cline, Forbes Africa, 4 Nov. 2024 https://www.forbesafrica.com/focus/2024/11/04/reclaiming-the-giant-among-gr… A good overview which includes discussion of the background of fonio, and current efforts to work with farmers growing it, as well as current marketing efforts. It includes quotes from Chef Pierre Thiam (author & co-founder of Yolélé ) and Zoë Karl-Waithaka (managing dir. at Boston Consulting Group (BCG)), and cites the Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa - FARA.

Podcasts: Regenerative by Design & Heritage Radio Network

by Don Osborn

From time to time I post about podcast episodes that mention one or more of the millets. This time I'll spotlight a couple of podcasts that each have more than one episode treating or touching upon this subject. First, Joni Kindwall-Moore (Snacktivist Foods and NAMA) has a new podcast called "Regenerative by Design: Getting to the root of health, climate, economics & food" https://snacktivistfoods.com/pages/regenerative-by-design-podcast Among the episodes currently listed is an interview with Chef Pierre Thiam (Yolélé and Teranga), who has developed a line of products made with fonio, and a supply chain going back to smallholder farmers - many of them women - in West Africa: "Regenerating the Sahel and Rediscovering Forgotten Foods with Chef Pierre Thiam" (5 May 2022) https://snacktivistfoods.com/pages/regenerating-the-sahal-and-rediscovering… I understand that an upcoming episode features John Manuel, Chief Commercial Officer of Dryland Genetics, an organization researching and promoting cultivation of proso millet in the US. Second is a major food podcast that I'm only just discovering - Heritage Radio Network at https://heritageradionetwork.org/ . It bills itself as "the world's pioneer food radio station" and has been going for over a decade. According to Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heritage_Radio_Network , it has produced over 4000 shows - apparently organized by series each with their own numbering sequences..

Re: [Collab] Article in Mother Jones

It is, Joni, thanks. And a thank you especially to Jonathon for talking with Miranda Lipton about millets. I'm sure that helped the overall content of the piece, beyond the specific quotes. I'm recalling that the first word about this possible article came during the summer - sometimes these things take time to come to fruition (longer season varieties, if you will).
