Millets Jatra

millets festival

The farmer focused organizations have come together with a quest to organize festivals to increase awareness bringing farmers, entrepreneurs, and consumers together. 

Details description

Year 2023 has been designated as the Year of Millets, both in India and Internationally. Millets are climate change friendly crops for farmers able to tolerate abiotic stresses and yield in challenging environments and conditions. Millets have numerous nutritional and health benefits for consumers. While we have a history of both cultivation, crop diversity and consumption, it is still scattered and unorganised. Consumer demand hence becomes a primary driver, incentivizing farmers towards more millet cultivation.
