Millets and Multigrains: An Environmentally sustainable Approach to Health, Nutrition, and Food Security

Author(s) Ms. Neha Vishwakarma, Dr. Meenal Phadnis
Country India
Abstract In recent years, the Government of India (GOI) has introduced various initiatives to encourage the cultivation and consumption of millets. Despite their well-known nutritional and health advantages, millets and multigrain have yet to become a regular part of traditional daily diets.
Foods made from millets and multigrains present an environmentally sustainable and climate-resilient approach to addressing the growing concerns of health, nutrition, and food security. As resilient crops, millets such as kodo, proso, foxtail, little, pearl, barnyard, and finger millet require minimal water, withstand extreme climatic conditions, and thrive in resource-poor environments. These characteristics position them as a sustainable alternative to conventional staples, which often demand intensive water use and contribute to environmental strain. This study reviews and explores the nutritional significance and role of millets and multigrains in enhancing food security by using secondary data from scientific literature and government reports. The study also presents a nutritious Indian snack developed using a blend of millet and multigrain flours. A traditional Indian sweet snack Shakkarpara was developed by a blend of Amaranth, Foxtail Millets, Sorghum, Finger Millet, and wheat. This value-added sweet snack was formulated and assessed for its nutritional profile, followed by sensory evaluation to determine its overall acceptability. This Sweet dish served as a nutrient-dense, climate-resilient snack that can be widely adopted for both rural and urban populations. The formulation supports broader objectives of improving public nutrition and promoting sustainable dietary choices.
