Abstract

Main conclusion: Millets are important food source to ensure global food and nutritional security and are associated with health benefits. Millets have emerged as a nutritional powerhouse with the potential to address food security challenges worldwide. These ancient grains, which come in various forms, including finger millet, proso millet, and pearl millet, among others, are essential to a balanced diet, since they provide a wide range of nutritional advantages. Millets have a well-rounded nutritional profile with a high protein, dietary fiber, vitamin, and mineral content for optimal health and wellness. In addition to their nutritional advantages, millets exhibit remarkable adaptability and durability to various agroecological conditions, making them a valuable resource for smallholder farmers functioning in resource-poor regions. Promoting the growth and use of millet can lead to several benefits that researchers and development experts may discover, including improved nutrition, increased food security, and sustainable agricultural methods. Therefore, millets are food crops, that are climate smart, nutritional, and food secured to feed the increasing global population, and everyone could have a healthier, more resilient future.

小米:确保粮食安全的营养源泉。
主要结论黍类是确保全球粮食和营养安全的重要食物来源,对健康有益。黍已成为营养强国,具有应对全球粮食安全挑战的潜力。这些古老的谷物形态各异,包括指粟、糙米和珍珠粟等,是均衡膳食的基本要素,因为它们具有广泛的营养优势。小米的营养成分全面,蛋白质、膳食纤维、维生素和矿物质含量都很高,是最佳的健康食品。除营养优势外,黍子还对各种农业生态条件具有显著的适应性和耐久性,是资源贫乏地区小农的宝贵资源。研究人员和发展专家可能会发现,促进黍的生长和使用可带来多种益处,包括改善营养、提高粮食安全和可持续农业方法。因此,黍是一种粮食作物,具有气候适应性、营养性和粮食安全,可为不断增加的全球人口提供食物,让每个人都能拥有一个更健康、更有韧性的未来。
