Authors

Abstract
Millets are among the oldest foods known to
humankind, but their importance and cultivation gradually declined with the
large-scale production of rice and wheat, driven by urbanization and industrialization.
In recent times, however, millets have re-emerged as vital crops with
significant agricultural and nutritional value at the global level. Today, the
world is seeking sustainable, climate-resilient, and nutritious alternatives to
ensure long-term food security, and millets are increasingly recognized as one
such option. With the rising prevalence of lifestyle-related diseases,
particularly in urban areas, milletbased products are gaining popularity among
health-conscious consumers. This makes it crucial to explore solutions that
address these emerging health and nutrition challenges. The article highlights
the different types of millets, and their immense potential in improving human
health and combating malnutrition.
