Nate Blum Spotlights the Power of Ancient Grains in “Sorgho Squad” Series

Chief Executive Officer of BlüMilo and Sorghum United, Nate Blum, takes young readers on a thrilling journey with the “Sorgho Squad.” Comprising three captivating chapters—“From the Ruins Comes Jowar!,” “The Rumors are True…Introducing, Mashilla!,” and “The Milo Mystery”—this adventurous series aims not only to entertain but to educate children about the significance of sorghum and other small grains in addressing global challenges.

Blum, an expert in grain sorghum production and marketing, is the driving force behind Sorghum United, an international NGO dedicated to advancing education and market development for sorghum and adjacent small grains. His passion for the mission of Sorghum United is rooted in the potential of these ancient grains to provide solutions for food security, nutrition, environmental sustainability, and rural economic disparity.

The “Sorgho Squad” series follows the journey of Professor Sorgho and his assistant, Alice Atlas, as they traverse the globe to reassemble the Sorgho Squad, an ancient-grains super team. This team holds the key to solving challenges related to hunger, nutrition, and environmental and economic sustainability.

In the first installment, “Sorgho Squad Chapter #1: From the Ruins Comes Jowar!,” Professor Sorgho’s lifelong dedication to solving global sustainability and nutrition challenges leads him to the discovery of a mysterious ancient super team—the Sorgho Squad. Lost to the ages, the team must be reassembled, prompting Professor Sorgho and Alice Atlas to embark on a globe-spanning quest. The suspense builds as readers wonder if they can find the squad in time.

With the discovery of Jowar, the first member of the Sorgho Squad, Professor Sorgho and Alice Atlas set the stage for a remarkable journey in “Sorgho Squad Chapter #2: The Rumors are True…Introducing, Mashilla!” Jowar’s ability to create bio-based materials becomes crucial in the quest to rediscover the next member of the team—Mashilla. The plot thickens as readers forge into the world of sustainable superpowers.

As the Sorgho Squad nears completion with Jowar and Mashilla providing bio-based materials and healthy food solutions, one member remains elusive—Milo. Professor Sorgho, Alice Atlas, and the team solve the “Milo Mystery,” contributing to the suspense and excitement that has defined the series winding up in “Sorgho Squad Chapter 3: The Milo Mystery.”

Blum’s writing captures the imagination of young readers, combining adventure, mystery, and environmental education. The “Sorgho Squad” series not only entertains but also introduces children to the importance of sustainable grains in addressing real-world challenges.

In addition to his literary accomplishments, Blum’s extensive background includes representing the sorghum and millets industry globally, serving on USDA advisory committees, and contributing to international discussions on sustainable development goals.
