There are multiple facets of millet based farming systems, and have come to the conclusion that with their capacity for multiple securities such as Food Security, Fodder Security, Health and Nutritional Security, Livelihood Security and Ecological Security, millets are the food and farming future of India. This leads us to suggest the renaming of millets as nutri-cereals.

Besides Millets long list of credentials, they can grow under completely rainfed conditions and therefore do not need irrigation for their cultivation. They can be raised in the harshest of environments and therefore can support farming in the most challenged ecological zones.

This potential of millets has the capacity to make millet farmers food sovereign, and it is our vision to reclaim millets into farming and policy landscape.
