Millets can withstand extreme weather, such as drought and high temperatures. They may thrive in the driest, toughest environments. When compared to other cereal crops like rice and wheat, millet has a high nutritional content and is drought-resistant. It also requires less water for growth. Millets, in contrast to rice and wheat, are not only a good source of energy and major nutrients, including protein, but are also a good source of micronutrients such as vitamins, including vitamins A, B, D, E, niacin, pyridoxine, antioxidants, iron and zinc. 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. Millets provide antioxidants, minerals and protein. As whole grains, each millet variety also offers different types and amounts of fibre, which play a role in regulating bowel function, blood sugar and lipids. Millets are an important crop for small-scale farmers as they require minimal investment and have a low input cost. They also have a high market demand due to their nutritional benefits, making them a lucrative crop for farmers.
