Millets are often referred to as the crop of the future and India has been undergoing its own renaissance with this super food. Also, 2023 has been designated as the International Year of Millets by the UN, where India has been leading the discourse to develop the dialogue on millets globally.
The magic of millets holds the promise of unlocking a model of production that is good for us, the farmer, businesses, and good for the environment.
