ABSTRACT

In the developing countries Agriculture sustainability with nutritional security is the big challenge for everyone. Agriculture lands are exploited due to changing of climatic condition gradually. It is very difficult to maintain quality grain with full of nutrition by daily crop production practices. This situation is also a big challenge by Agro scientists to provide nutritious grains in low fertile soil with less rainfall. Millets are the highly climatic change crops with full of nutrition replaces Wheat and Rice. Millets are the staple food that used for people from semi-arid region. These are the crops grows in those areas which receive subtracting rainfall. They are mostly produced in Asia and Africa continents. Asian countries like India and Nepal, and African countries like Nigeria, Sudan and Niger are the biggest producer of millets. These ‘Nutri-cereals’ contents all the major and micronutrients. It is rich in minerals and vitamins, which protect us from diabetes, heart disease, under nutrition, CVD and cancer. It has nutraceuticals properties which prevent us from many degenerative diseases. Millets are very low in cost and they have several health benefits, just because of this it is known as ‘Food for all’. Cultivation of millets can increase the productivity of dry land and ensures its future perspective in nutritional security. Keywords: Millet, Nutri-cereals, Nutraceuticals, Minerals, Under-nutrition
