Abstract
There are an unlimited number of plant species available in nature, including many underutilized and neglected crops that have been forgotten in favour of the more popular "major" cereals. Millets and pseudo-cereals are under this group since they have a variety of adaptation and nutritive characteristics. Due to the resilience of these crops to climate change, sustainable development can only be possible if we manage and enhance them in a way that is scientifically planned, protects and solidifies livelihoods, and ensures adequate nutrition and health. Due to their beneficial nutrient content, cereals are essential components of a nutritious and balanced diet and have a big impact on health promotion. Millets are known as nutri-cereals because of their great nutritional value and potential to make a significant contribution to food and nutritional security. Traditional cereal crops like millets can flourish even in harsh drought circumstances and don't require a lot of resources to harvest.
