Abstract

A major issue in India is the sustainability of agriculture due to population expansion, climate change, and mounting demands on natural resources. This review paper explores how millet crops might help India's agriculture become more sustainable. A family of small-seeded grains known as millets has been cultivated for millennia and has various distinctive qualities that make them appropriate for sustainable farming methods. The paper looks at the advantages of growing millet from an environmental, economic, and social standpoint, as well as the difficulties and potential solutions for their broad adoption. Additionally, millet contributes to improved soil health, water resource conservation, mitigation against climate change, and strengthening rural communities. The review's conclusions underscore the important part millet crops can play in achieving agricultural sustainability and offer suggestions for how politicians, academics, and farmers should encourage the development of millet crops.
