About — International Year of Millets
The International Year of Millets is a global initiative by the United Nations to promote the cultivation, consumption, and conservation of millets, a group of small-grained cereal crops. This initiative aims to raise awareness about the nutritional and environmental benefits of millets, which are rich in fiber, protein, and minerals. In India, for instance, millets are a staple crop in many rural areas, with over 10 million hectares of land dedicated to millet cultivation.
