India pushes millets to tackle supply uncertainties, climate change -Kunal Gaurav

-Hindustan Times

India’s focus on food security through increased production of millets was echoed by external affairs minister S Jaishankar during a luncheon on Thursday where he stressed that millets are important for food security as well as international relations.

India has intensified its efforts for a global push to counter the challenges to ensure food security – threatened by Covid-19, conflicts and climate change – through increased millet production and consumption. The disruption of wheat supply, first during Covid and at present due to the Ukraine war, has underlined the importance of creating domestic and global demand for millets as it could resolve the twin problems of supply uncertainties and climate change.

The government’s push, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to increase awareness around millet resulted in a significant achievement last year when the UN General Assembly declared 2023 as the International Year of Millets. India has already notified millets as nutri-cereals because of its nutritional value – millets are rich source of Protein, Fibre, Minerals, Iron, Calcium and have a low glycemic index. The Modi government is making efforts to popularize nutri-cereals through R&D support and has established three Centres of Excellence (CoE).
