Millets mainstreaming in India, Asian and African countries [1]

A compendium of field stories showcasing experiences from Asian and African countries, including India was launched. The compendium will help in capacity building and scaling up the best practices in the adoption of millets across the world. It also signifies the successful realization of the Mapping and Exchange of the Good Practices (MEGP) Initiative for Millets Mainstreaming in Asia and Africa, initiated in July 2022 through the collaboration of NITI Aayog and World Food Programme (WFP). India has successfully promoted millets for climate resilience, food security, and small farmers' livelihoods, particularly women, during the International Year of Millets 2023. These stories on millet mainstreaming will inspire practitioners and institutions to learn from the diverse good practices brought together. Millets must be made more fashionable or popular as they have health benefits, especially for lifestyle-related choices.
