ABSTRACT:
Millets, once considered as neglected crops, have gained significant attention due to their nutritional value, climate resilience, and suitability for sustainable agriculture. This review paper synthesizes current research on sustainable cultivation practices for millets, focusing on key aspects such as soil health, water management, pest and disease control, and socio-economic implications. It explores innovative approaches such as intercropping, organic farming techniques, and precision agriculture methods to enhance millet yields while minimizing environmental impact. Furthermore, the paper discusses the role of millets in enhancing food security, promoting biodiversity, and mitigating climate change. By critically evaluating existing literature, this review aims to provide insights for policymakers, researchers, and farmers to promote the adoption of sustainable millet cultivation practices, thereby contributing to global food security and environmental sustainability.
