The United Nations (UN) declared 2023 as the International Year of Millets. As a crop indigenous to Africa and Asia, millets, along with other dryland cereals, have the potential to enhance global food security by making nutritious and affordable diets more accessible to families. CIMMYT is scaling-up millet cultivation amid a rapidly changing global climate, which has placed pressure to safeguard food systems.

In commemoration of the International Year of Millets, CIMMYT invites you to an upcoming webinar: Unleashing the power of millets: innovations, challenges, and opportunities. Dryland crop experts will explore the nutritional value, agronomic traits, and climate resilience of millets, showcasing their adaptability to various farming systems and millet biofortification through breeding.
