Millets as a Key to Improving Food and Nutrition Security and Promoting Sustainable Consumption
This Policy Brief was first published in https://t20ind.org
Millets have high nutritional value, are resilient to a changing climate, require fewer resources compared to other popular grains, and are often regarded as ‘nutri- cereals’ or ‘superfoods’. Despite their benefits and their historically bigger share in diets across geographies, the cultivation and consumption of millets is sharply declining. Millets could be key to ensuring food and nutrition security, resource sustainability, and economic empowerment. Thus, it is critical to create policies towards reversing the global trends of decreasing consumption and production of millets, and enhance consumer awareness of their nutritional and health benefits. With the United Nations declaring 2023 as the International Year of Millets, this ‘superfood’ can be brought to the fore as an important grain for the dietary habits of humans.
