The International Year of Millets is a global initiative declared by the United Nations in 2023 to raise awareness of the important role that millets play in food security and sustainable agriculture. The initiative aims to promote the cultivation and consumption of millets, which are a group of small-seeded cereal crops that are highly nutritious and drought-resistant.
Millets have been a staple food in many regions for thousands of years and are still an important source of nutrition for millions of people, especially in developing countries. They are also highly adaptable to different climates and soil types, making them an important crop for sustainable agriculture.
The International Year of Millets aims to bring attention to the potential of these crops to improve food security, reduce poverty, and enhance sustainable agriculture. It also aims to promote research and investment in the cultivation and use of millets, and to encourage the development of new products and markets for these crops.
Overall, the International Year of Millets is an important opportunity to raise awareness of the critical role that millets play in global food security and sustainable agriculture, and to promote their cultivation and use in communities around the world.
