Sorghum United Foundation CEO Nate Blum to Participate in Global Bioeconomy Partnership Advisory Meeting at FAO Headquarters in Rome

The Sorghum United Foundation is proud to announce the continued involvement of CEO Nate Blum in the Global Partnership on Bioeconomy for Sustainable Food and Agriculture, led by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. As a member of the Project Advisory Group (PAG), Mr. Blum has played an active role in shaping the strategic direction of this groundbreaking initiative, which aims to foster global cooperation in leveraging bioeconomy solutions for sustainable food systems and environmental resilience.

The FAO has extended an official invitation to Mr. Blum to attend the second PAG meeting, which will be held in Rome, Italy, on 19-20 May 2025. The meeting will gather thought leaders, innovators, scientists, and policymakers from around the world to build upon the progress made thus far and to discuss a roadmap for establishing a cohesive and inclusive Global Partnership.

"We are honored to continue contributing to this vital initiative," said Nate Blum, CEO of the Sorghum United Foundation. "Bioeconomy holds tremendous promise for transforming food and agriculture systems into more sustainable, equitable, and climate-resilient sectors. Sorghum and other resilient crops can play a key role in this transformation, especially in regions most affected by climate change and food insecurity."

The Global Partnership on Bioeconomy is a response to the growing need for coordinated global efforts to transition to more sustainable and regenerative food systems. By utilizing biological resources and innovative technologies, the bioeconomy presents opportunities for improving food security, generating green jobs, restoring ecosystems, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The Project Advisory Group, comprised of diverse experts and representatives from international organizations, research institutions, NGOs, and industry, provides critical guidance to the FAO as it develops the structure, scope, and goals of the partnership. The Terms of Reference and provisional agenda for the upcoming meeting indicate a strong focus on collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and inclusive stakeholder engagement.

Sorghum United Foundation is uniquely positioned to contribute meaningful insights to the partnership. With its focus on promoting underutilized, climate-smart crops such as sorghum and millet, the foundation advocates for agricultural diversification, improved livelihoods for smallholder farmers, and global food system resilience. Mr. Blum's expertise in sustainable agriculture, policy engagement, and rural development has been instrumental in highlighting the role of traditional grains in modern food systems.

"The invitation from the FAO is both a recognition of our commitment and a call to action," added Blum. "We look forward to working alongside our colleagues in the PAG and the broader global community to design inclusive solutions that support both people and the planet."

The Sorghum United Foundation extends its gratitude to the FAO Bioeconomy Team and Lev Neretin, Environment Team Lead at the FAO Office of Climate Change, Biodiversity and Environment, for the opportunity to contribute to this timely and essential global initiative.
