Embracing Millets: Nourishing India's Health and Economy As we celebrate the resurgence of millets in India, it's crucial to recognize their immense importance in promoting nutrition security, environmental sustainability, and economic prosperity. Millets are a powerhouse of nutrition, packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, making them ideal for combating malnutrition and promoting overall well-being. Furthermore, millets play a pivotal role in sustainable agriculture, requiring minimal water and inputs compared to conventional cereals like rice and wheat. Their inherent resilience to pests, diseases, and adverse weather conditions makes them a preferred choice for smallholder farmers, contributing to climate resilience and food security. In addition to their nutritional and environmental benefits, millets also hold significant economic potential, both domestically and globally. With increasing awareness of their health benefits and growing demand for gluten-free and organic products, millets present a lucrative opportunity for trade and commerce. India, being one of the world's largest producers of millets, is well-positioned to capitalize on this opportunity and become a global leader in millet trade. By promoting value addition, improving supply chain infrastructure, and facilitating market access, we can unlock the full economic potential of millets and create livelihood opportunities for millions of farmers and entrepreneurs. One such great opportunity is India Food 2024, an India International Food Trade and Technology Fair which is organized by Indian Chamber of Food and Agriculture. It provides an exciting opportunity for all the stakeholders to participate, network, showcase and increase business having partnership opportunities by taping most dynamic Indian Food Market. HnyB as a strategic partner of India Food 2024, invite all of you and visit https://lnkd.in/dqktmafV to look for opportunities to partner us.

The report gives valuable insights but leans heavily on the institutional framework and policy gaps but does not fully explore the potential of market-driven approaches or consumer behavior shifts as critical components of transforming food systems. A more forward-looking, globally aligned, and innovation-driven approach would enhance reports relevance and impact.Following may be considered: 1. Long term Vision: While the report acknowledges the need for a sustainable food system, the report misses the global push towards regenerative agriculture, circular economy principles, and agri-tech innovations like precision farming and AI-driven food supply chain management are not fully explored as part of the solution. 2. Global Advancements and Innovations: The report does not adequately reflect global advancements such as: - Agri-tech solutions like vertical farming, hydroponics, and aeroponics, which are gaining traction worldwide as sustainable methods to maximize food production with minimal environmental impact. - The integration of digital technologies in food systems, such as blockchain for supply chain transparency, AI-driven crop management, and smart sensors for real-time monitoring. - The report does not mention the role of alternative proteins (e.g., plant-based or lab-grown meats) and biotechnology as part of a future food system, both of which are key topics in global sustainable food system dialogues. 3. Misleading Focus on Domestic Policies Without Considering Global Integration: The emphasis on India’s trade agreements is important, but the lack of discussion around global partnerships in innovation or alignment with global sustainability standards is a gap. Other countries are advancing initiatives like the Farm to Fork Strategy in the European Union or the Climate-Smart Agriculture movement, which could provide lessons and benchmarks for India to adopt. 4. Overemphasis on Government Schemes and Regulatory Gaps: While important, this focus diverts attention from the role that the private sector, startups, and international collaborations can play in driving innovation and scaling sustainable solutions. 5. Focus on Critical Environmental Issues: Although the report touches on environmental sustainability, it does not fully engage with pressing issues such as biodiversity loss, soil degradation, and water scarcity, which are increasingly part of global conversations on sustainable food systems, by promoting agroecology, water-efficient farming techniques, and carbon farming.
Can India become a global leader in sustainable food systems? While we are the largest producer of pulses and the second-largest producer of rice and wheat, we face major hurdles in sustainability—food loss, fragmented supply chains, and a lack of nutrition security. In this new policy brief, experts Arpita Mukherjee, Anushka Pal, and Ketaki Gaikwad present a roadmap to overcome these challenges. By addressing key regulatory gaps and scaling up best practices, India can transition from food security to nutrition security, enhance exports, and boost farmer incomes—all while leveraging its trade agreements.

Millets hailed as the future of food due to their exceptional nutritional value, low glycemic index, and resilience to climate change, received global recognition in 2023 as the United Nations declared it the Year of Millets. 🌾 However, despite India's significant production contribution, millets are yet to gain widespread acceptance in Indian kitchens. Recognizing this, the recent Policy Round Table on Millets in New Delhi, organized by Indian Chamber of Food and Agriculture, highlighted the need for better policy support, increased investments, and private-sector involvement. 🌾 The launch of the India Global Millets Forum aims to propel millets into the mainstream as a vital food source. Chaired by Mr. Sanjeev Chadha, Additional Secretary, GoI, the event saw participation from diplomats, experts, CEOs, government officials, startups, exporters, and NGOs, reflecting a collective effort to promote millets as the food of the future.
