摘要

The importance of millets in India’s food system has been emphasized, and in recent years, policy support for this has grown dramatically. The 2018 introduction of the National Policy on Nutri-Cereals is crucial to acknowledging the nutritional advantages of millets and their ability to adapt to the changing climate. The goal of the policy is to enhance millet yield by developing new seed varieties and sustainable farming practices. In order to reduce post-harvest losses, it encourages the building of processing and storage facilities and highlights the importance of value addition and market links. The capacity of farmers to produce income and enhance the worth of millets by turning them into diverse food items. Agronomic techniques, pest management plans, and the creation of novel millet types are all strongly supported. As a result, sustainable agriculture is encouraged and millet farming becomes more profitable and productive. To increase consumer awareness, the policy backs informative and educational campaigns. These projects emphasize the nutritional benefits and culinary diversity of millets with the aim of influencing consumer decisions and promoting millets as a wholesome and sustainable food choice. To guarantee their accessibility and inclusion in the diets of a larger population, the policy incorporates millets into a number of government initiatives like the National Food Security Mission, National Agriculture Research System, Mid-Day Meal Programme, National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture, and RashtriyaKrishivikasYojana. The policy support for millets is indicative of India’s government’s overall commitment to addressing food security, improving farmer livelihoods, and boosting sustainable agriculture. The nation is being encouraged by these programs to embrace a millet revolution, which might have a big impact on the environment, health, and nutrition. Research and initiatives to raise public awareness support them.
