The role of millets in attaining United Nation's sustainable developmental goals
Global Food and Nutrition Security

Strengthening food and nutrient security is crucial to feeding the ever-growing world population. Millets provide energy and nutrients for millions of poor people in low- and middle-income countries of Asia and Africa. Millets require less fertilizer and pesticide, unlike mainstream cereals, for cultivation. Millets supply superior nutrients and possess excellent climate resilience properties. Therefore, promotion of millets could help attain the sustainable developmental goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN).
