Chapter 3 of a Fun Tale about Big Issues
Sorgho Squad is a story that has become popular with readers thanks to the delightful characters, such as Professor Sorgho and Alice Atlas, his assistant. The team is on a mission: to rediscover sorghum, the powerful ancient crop with unique properties. This is an unusual topic for a book series but Nate Blum presents it effectively and in a fun way, with a clear passion for the world of sorghum and the ways in which it can aid the current global challenges.
This is reflected by the characters having to deal with these big issues themselves: they fight hunger and malnutrition, water scarcity, and climate change.
Nate Blum’s Power of Stories
A comic-book lover at heart, Nate Blum believes in comics that can change the world. And it is especially needed now, when the world is facing so many real issues, many related to environmental problems and big-picture challenges that require comprehensive, complex solutions, like climate change.
Blum is the founder of Sorghum United, an international company that is dedicated to cultivating and harnessing the power of sorghum around the world, because he believes this crop offers many options for these issues. Sorghum can protect against soil erosion and be grown in water-scarce conditions, for instance, which make it a powerful choice for fighting hunger and lack of access to food. Based in Nebraska, Sorghum United works with food experts around the world to develop this solution. His stories, which are not just entertaining, also educate about this and are full of Nate’s own passion.
Sorgho Squad’s Global Vision
The characters in his stories seek to rediscover and reintroduce the ancient grain, sorghum, with a lot of power and potential. It’s a graphic novel that features delightful illustrations, especially when it comes to images of nature. The settings, both a hidden temple full of exotic nature or struggling farms in Nebraska, engage the readers and offer beautiful visuals to go along with the engaging story.
