Report on Survey of Post-harvest Technology and Constraints Faced by Women Farmers related to Small Millets and Associated Crops
Food and nutritional security is an important issue for the developing and underdeveloped countries. Small millets can be miracle crops, which can address both of the issues and can bring health, wealth and happiness to their producers. Small millets have many advantages like less water and external input requirement, ability to tolerate changing or unfavourable climate, capacity to grow in poor soil and environmental conditions and long storability of grains. Despite these properties, millets are going out of cultivation due to socio-cultural neglect and lack of promotional efforts. One of the major reasons for such a situation is difficult postharvest operations in small millets. Read More...
Study of Uncultivated greens in Small Millet Farms in Tamil Nadu, India
Small millets are considered to be superior in nutritional qualities when compared to commonly consumed crops like rice and wheat. Small millet cropping systems offer food security, fodder security and income security to the cultivating households. But in India, area under small millets and consumption has declined drastically during the period between 1961 and 2009. With the premise that revival and promotion of Small millets cropping systems (SMCS) could address major problems of food and nutrition security in large tracts of rainfed South Asia, an action research project by name ‘Revalorising Small Millets in Rainfed Regions of South Asia (RESMISA)’ was initiated in 2011 in India, Nepal and Sri Lanka.
