Policy: Promoting Millets for Urban Food Security: An Analysis of Millet Porr...
- Millet porridge vendors in Madurai, India play an important role in providing food security and livelihoods to the urban poor.
- A study found that most vendors and consumers of millet porridge were low-caste, poorly educated laborers living below the poverty line.
- While consumers were concerned with food quality and hygiene, they purchased street foods regularly for convenience and liked millet porridge for its ability to keep them full and give them energy for work.
- The study recommends engaging street food vendors in government food security schemes and improving the policy environment for vendors through licensing, capacity building programs, and linking them with small farmers.
Extension strategies for popularizing millet
This document discusses strategies for popularizing millet cultivation in India. It notes that millets are well-suited to growing in marginal lands and provide food and fodder. However, millet production faces constraints like low adoption of improved varieties and lack of irrigation. Solutions proposed include growing drought-resistant hybrids, intercropping, and weed management. The document also discusses value addition through processing millet into products like biscuits and developing ethnic foods to increase markets and farmer returns. This could encourage more millet cultivation.
Millets - Crucial to Fight Poverty and Grow Food Security
Millets have potential to fight poverty and increase food security through various untapped markets and uses. Improving seeds, farm inputs and practices such as microdosing can significantly boost millet production, such as increasing yields in Niger by 55%. Millets are a crucial staple and traditional crop for the 2.5 billion people living in drylands, yet average rainfed sorghum yields remain low compared to realistic potential yields, indicating there is room for improved farming techniques to better utilize millets.

Millets
Millets are a group of highly nutritious grains that were traditionally a staple food for many rural Indians. They provide more protein, fiber, and micronutrients than rice and wheat but have been replaced by those grains due to government policies promoting rice and wheat. Reviving the cultivation and consumption of millets could help address India's growing burden of diet-related diseases while supporting farmers. Millets are easy to incorporate into meals and recipes as a substitute for rice in dishes like upma, pongal, idli, dosa, and more. Their slow digestion makes them ideal for diabetics and those seeking stable blood sugar levels.
Millet
Millet is a group of small-seeded grasses that are widely grown as cereal crops around the world, especially in developing countries in Asia and Africa. Millet is favored for its high productivity and ability to grow in dry, high temperature conditions with a short season. While millets are grown in many places, their origin is likely in tropical western Africa where the greatest diversity exists today. Millet was an important prehistoric crop in many societies before the rise of other grains like rice.
Wonder World Of Millets
India leads the world in millet consumption. Millets are highly nutritious and climate-resilient crops that can grow in low rainfall and harsh soil conditions with little to no external inputs. However, millets have been marginalized in India through policies promoting rice and wheat. The document calls for increasing the cultivation and consumption of millets in India in order to address issues of food security, health, nutrition, climate change adaptation and farmer livelihoods. It recommends policies and programs to promote millets, recognize their climate benefits, and honor the communities growing them.
Cereals & milletes
Cereals provide many health benefits as a staple food. They are rich in complex carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals that provide energy and help prevent diseases. Cereals contain fiber that aids digestion and lowers cholesterol. They are also enriched with nutrients like niacin, iron and thiamine. While cereals offer many benefits, high-bran cereals can cause discomfort for some and decrease mineral absorption.
Cereals & Millet Processing
This document provides information on processing of cereals and millets. It discusses various cereals and millets commonly consumed in India including their nutritional composition. It then describes various processing techniques for cereals like milling, flaking and extrusion. Specific processing methods for crops like maize, sorghum, foxtail millet, pearl millet and finger millet are outlined. The document also discusses potential value-added products that can be developed from millets including snacks, baked goods, pastas and beverages. Manufacturing processes for selected millet-based products are described.
