Sorghum in the 21st Century

Posted on September 15, 2017

Cape Town, South Africa will be the venue of the 2018 global sorghum conference, “Sorghum in the 21st Century: Food, Feed and Fuel in a Rapidly Changing World,” on April 9-12, 2018. The conference, the first of its kind in over 30 years, will see hundreds of participants from around the world, including researchers, grain industry representatives, business entrepreneurs, governmental organizations, development practitioners and more. Sorghum’s versatility as a staple nutritious food crop, specialty gluten-free ingredient, livestock feedstuff and biofuel source makes it a key commodity that is poised to help address looming global concerns, including food security, climate change, clean energy and environmental sustainability.

The International Sorghum Conference is hosted by the Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Collaborative Research on Sorghum and Millet of Kansas State University, USA

and co-hosted by the University of Pretoria, South Africa
