SUMMARY:Sorgum! Community Call with the Staple Crop Growers Network
DESCRIPTION:The 2026 Staple Crop Community Call series continues with a look at sorghum\, a main staple crop (one of top five cereals) grown and consumed around the world. This crop holds cultural importance in Africa and India\, as well as African American diaspora communities and the abolitionist movement. Learn from Chelsea Askew (Georgia\, True Love Seeds)\, Jalal Sabur\, and Jon Kasza (New York\, Sweet Freedom Farm) about their experiences growing\, processing and marketing sorghum for grain and syrup production in their communities. Discuss what small scale approaches and innovations were made when adding this crop to their fields and farm businesses. This webinar is part of an ongoing series focused on the food crops that sustain us\, connect us to our heritage\, and help us adapt to changing climates and food systems. Participants are encouraged to bring questions and share experiences from the field.
