๐ พ๏ธ Some facts about Millets:
๐พ Climate -resilient crops; can grow on arid lands with mininal inputs and maintenance ; are tolerant or resistant to diseases and pests and are more resilient to climate shocks than other cereals
๐พthey can grow in very poor (extreme word) and fertile soils in dryland conditionsand donot heavily deplete soil nutrients
๐พgood source of minerals, fibre, antioxidants and proteins; have low glycaemic index ; rich source for iron and are glutem free. Thus they have huge benefits in dealing with malnutrition, management of diseases like diabetes, heart conditions, anaemia as well as climate resilience and nutritional security โ ๏ธ
