This review explores the nutritional benefits and sustainable cultivation of minor millets, including finger, foxtail, proso, barnyard, and little millet. These climate-resilient grains are rich in fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals, making them valuable for food security, particularly in semi-arid regions. The document highlights the role of millets in promoting dietary diversity and suggests policies to integrate millets into global agriculture to support rural communities and reduce reliance on major cereals like rice and wheat.
