Understanding consumption preferences for sorghum
and millets globally
In support of the objectives of the International Year of
Millets (2023), a global study, “Prioritizing Regular
Intake of Sorghum and Millets (PRISM)”, is being
conducted to understand the potential drivers of
sorghum and millets consumption. PRISM is a
collaborative effort of researchers in the Markets,
Institutions and Policy team at ICRISAT, Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (MIT) and ICAR-Indian Institute
of Millets Research (IIMR) to understand the choices
that drive the consumption of these nutricereals and to
explore their increased inclusion in diets globally for the
good of dryland farmers, human health and the
environment.
The research team has been running a short survey as
part of this study and respondents from 58 countries
have already taken it. However, a much larger response
would be needed to make a strong case and strategize
consumption of these nutricereals globally, contributing
to multiple sustainable development goals (SDGs).
Therefore, the research team solicits participation from
the readers and thanks the respondents for their time.
This short survey (2-3 minutes) is anonymous.
It is accessible at the link mentioned below.
