Abstract

The article discusses the potential of pearl millet as a resilient and nutritious cereal crop for addressing food security challenges posed by climate change and water shortages. Millets are highlighted for their ability to grow in water-stressed environments and their nutritional benefits, such as being gluten-free and rich in essential nutrients. The article emphasizes the need for increased awareness, research investment, and private sector engagement to promote the cultivation and consumption of millets, particularly in North America. The upcoming book "Pearl Millet: A Resilient Cereal Crop for Food, Nutrition, and Climate Security" aims to educate a diverse audience about the benefits and potential of millets.
