Episode 2 of this season focuses on sorghum, an underappreciated crop that is mainly grown in Africa. Chef Ali Mandhry, a sorghum champion, shares recipes and his passion for this crop working from his home in Mombassa, Kenya, whilst Meymuna Hussein shares her journey from East Africa to America and the importance of sorghum in her culture and cooking. Expert Eva Weltzien, pre-breeding consultant from ICRISAT wraps us up by championing the sustainable impact sorghum can have if we produce and use it as an alternative to more pollutant crops. Correction: At about 3min, it should say that sorghum stalks, not roots, are used as fuel for cooking.

Episode 1 of Chefs' Manifesto Podcast Season 3 – the Crop Series – provides insights and stories on the prolific tuber potato. The history of this crop is discussed from country-specific perspectives, with Ireland represented by Chef Janice Bracken and Peru by Chef Diego Oka. The chefs explore how to best prepare and cook potato, to preserve its nutrients, make use of its wide diversity, but also how to present them in an attractive and healthy way on the plate. Alejandro Argumedo, Andes Amazon Lead for the Swift Foundation, shares his thoughts at the end of the episode on the benefits of potato for alimentation and agriculture.
