1 The “Millet Moment”: Nutrition Meets Climate Resilience
1.1 What Are Millets?
Millets are small‑seeded ancient grains such as ragi (finger millet), foxtail, kodo, pearl (bajra) and sorghum. They’re naturally gluten‑free, low‑GI, rich in calcium and iron, and contain up to 15% protein—punching well above wheat on most nutrition charts.
1.2 Why Millets Solve a Planet Problem
Millets are 70% more water‑efficient than rice and thrive in heat, drought or flood conditions. They mature in 70–100 days (vs. 120+ days for wheat) and require minimal fertiliser, making them a boon for both farmers and ESG‑minded buyers.
