This title is an acquisition.
This film details how researchers in Canada and Africa have produced a novel mechanical dehuller that can process sorghum quickly and cheaply, making it as convenient to eat as other grains. The dehuller is also adaptable to millet, cowpeas, chickpeas, maize, and other cereals and legumes common to the semiarid tropics. The story of the dehuller, presented in a concise and striking way, makes An End to Pounding interesting viewing for both professional and general audiences.
