Millets: The Future Food for a Healthier Planet
In a world grappling with climate change, lifestyle diseases, and food insecurity, millets are emerging as a smart and sustainable solution. Once known as the “poor man’s grain,” millets are now recognized as nutrient-rich, climate-resilient superfoods that support both health and the environment.
🌟 Why Are Millets Gaining Global Attention?
- 🌱 Eco-Friendly Crops: Millets need less water, grow in poor soil, and don't require chemical fertilizers.
- 🧬 Nutritional Powerhouses: High in fiber, iron, protein, antioxidants, and gluten-free.
- 🌾 Preserving Biodiversity: Millets revive traditional farming and protect neglected crop varieties.
- 🍽️ Versatile in the Kitchen: Use them in upma, dosas, rotis, porridges, or even desserts!
🌍 A Global Push for Millets
The United Nations declared 2023 as the International Year of Millets (IYM 2023), led by India. This global initiative promotes awareness, farming support, and export growth for these underused grains.
