| description | Millets are resilient cereals that can offer a cost-effective and nutrient-rich alternative and ensure food security, because they include minerals, protein, and antioxidants. The need to revitalise millet crops is highlighted by the fact that, as whole grains, distinct kinds and levels of fibre are available from each millet variety. However, this fibre plays an important role in the regulation of intestinal function, blood sugar level, and lipid metabolism. IYM 2023, the International Year of Millets 2023 was proclaimed at its 75th session by the United Nations General Assembly, in collaboration with the FAO. As the prevalence of under- and over-nutrition rises, so does the urgency of switching to diets that incorporate millets because of their health benefits, and low cost. However, India has committed to promoting itself as the 'Global Hub for Millets' and making 2023's International Year of Millets a 'People's Movement'. The Millet Revolution is motivated by initiatives to resuscitate ancient agricultural practises and provide assistance for small-scale farmers, as well as by rising awareness of the health and environmental advantages of millets. Efforts to revitalise traditional agricultural practises and provide assistance for small-scale farmers are major factors in the revolution of millet cultivation. However, it is considered as an answer to the problems of both public health and sustainable agriculture. |
