क्या है दुनिया के लिए Millets की महत्ता | Sawal Ek Jawab Anek with Sapna Pandey | #millets #public
Millets are a highly varied group of small-seeded grasses, widely grown around the world as cereal crops or #grains for fodder and #human food. Most species generally referred to as millets belong to the tribe Paniceae, but some millets also belong to various other taxa. #millets are important crops in the semiarid tropics of #asia and #africa (especially in India, Mali, Nigeria, and Niger), with 97% of millet production in developing countries.
This crop is favored due to its #productivity and short growing season under dry, high-temperature conditions. The term millet is sometimes understood to comprise sorghum. The annual #harvest of sorghum is twice the amount of other millets. Of these pearl millet is the most common.
#pearl millet and sorghum are important crops in India and parts of Africa. Finger millet, proso millet, and foxtail millet are also important crop species. Millets may have been consumed by humans for about 7,000 years and potentially had “a pivotal role in the rise of multi-crop #agriculture and settled farming societies.”
