FUTURE PROJECTS
Reviving Ancient Grains: Exploring the Potential of Millets in Modern Agriculture
This project aims to explore the potential of millets in modern agriculture, taking into account their nutritional advantages and environmental adaptability. Millets, which have played a crucial role historically but are now underutilized, offer gluten-free and nutrient-rich options that are suitable for various climates and require less water. By conducting both a literature review and field studies, we seek to evaluate the feasibility and advantages of integrating millets into contemporary farming practices. Our primary focus is on developing millet-based products as nutritious alternatives to conventional grains, thereby enhancing food security and promoting biodiversity. This research contributes to the diversification of agriculture and the sustainable production of food, underscoring the significance of millets in fostering healthier and more resilient food systems.
