Status, Scope and challenges in Millet processingMuzaffarHasan1
Millets have a long history of cultivation dating back 4000 years in India and Africa. India is currently the world's largest producer and consumer of millets. Millets provide important nutrients and have various health benefits. They are gluten-free and thus beneficial for conditions like celiac disease. Millets also have anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, and heart-healthy properties due to their fiber, protein, and antioxidant content including polyphenols. Specifically, components in millets can slow carbohydrate absorption and reduce blood glucose levels, making them a low glycemic index food option.
Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) are groups formed by agricultural producers to get better access to inputs, services and markets. FPOs allow smallholder farmers to aggregate their production and resources to achieve economies of scale. They provide members with financial services, input supply, marketing, technical support and networking opportunities. The document outlines the definition, structure, formation process, roles and importance of FPOs for supporting small farmers in India.

Millets, An Old Concept To Adapt To New ChangeFSTnortheast
The document discusses different agricultural systems practiced in Northeast India, including various types of wet rice cultivation, shifting cultivation, home gardens, plantation crops, and livestock systems. It also summarizes the major crops grown within different agricultural systems like jhum, valley cultivation, double cropping, and home gardens. These include crops like rice, millets, maize, vegetables, and fruits. The document highlights the high agrobiodiversity of the region and threats to traditional farming systems from fast changes in landscapes, farming practices, and lifestyles.
Millets are a group of highly drought-tolerant cereal crops grown worldwide, especially in developing countries in Asia and Africa. The document discusses the key types of millets grown globally and in India, including pearl millet, finger millet, and various minor millets. It provides details on the plants' characteristics, nutritional value, production levels in major countries, and cultivation practices. Millets serve as important sources of food and fodder, with over 95% of production used for human consumption.
Traditionally, the Indian economy was woven around cattle. Cows provided milk, bullocks enabled farming and transportation, and cow dung and urine benefited agriculture, fuel, health and nutrition. However, mechanized farming promotes over-tillage, requires huge capital investments in equipment, fertilizers and transportation, and increases costs for farmers. In contrast, cattle-based farming is more sustainable, decentralized and cost-effective for small farmers through natural manure, draft power, and local consumption and transport.
Scope for production of Finger millet (Eleusine coracana L. Gaertn.)BHU
Millets are one of the oldest foods known to humans but they were discarded in approbation of wheat and rice with urbanization and industrialization. Millets are low water consuming crops. The rainfall requirement for sorghum, pearl millet and finger millet is less than 25% of sugarcane and banana and 30% that of rice. Finger millet is called as the powerhouse of health benefiting nutrients as it has highest amount of calcium (344 mg/100 g of finger millet), iron (3.9 g/100 g of finger millet) and minerals (2.7 g/100 g of finger millet).
This document discusses e-extension and the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) and social media for agricultural extension. It provides an overview of e-extension components like e-learning, e-farming and e-trading. It also discusses what social media is, basic components of social media, tools of e-extension like social networking sites and forums. Examples of ICT projects in rural India like e-Choupal are provided. The impact of e-extension and implications for training agriculture extension professionals on e-extension are summarized.

Several case studies on awareness, adoption and impact of climate resilient practices by farmers in India are summarized.
This document discusses biofortified crops in Bangladesh and their potential to address micronutrient deficiencies. It defines biofortified crops as staple foods bred to contain higher levels of vitamins and minerals. Bangladesh has successfully developed and released zinc-rich rice varieties that increase zinc intake and can reduce childhood stunting and mortality. Widespread adoption of these varieties could help over 40% of Bangladeshi children at risk of zinc deficiency. However, efforts are still needed to increase commercial availability and market access for biofortified crops, as well as nutrition education to encourage consumption. Overall, biofortification shows promise for sustainably combating micronutrient deficiencies in Bangladesh.
