What is the International Year Of Millet (IYOM) 2023?

Why the World is celebrating the International Year Of Millet (IYOM) 2023?

As the largest producer of millets, India has taken the leadership initiative in reviving millets across the globe. The proposal for an International Year of Millets (IYoM) 2023 put forth by the Government of India was endorsed by Members of FAO Governing Bodies and was subsequently adopted by the 75th Session of the UN General Assembly in March 2021. The International Year of Millets will provide a unique opportunity to help create greater awareness of millet production, contribute to food security, and nutrition, and ensure the livelihoods and incomes of farmers, and poverty eradication, particularly in regions that are drought-prone or threatened by climate change.

The cultivation and consumption of millets is declining in many countries and their potential to address food and nutritional security is not being properly realized. Given the growing focus on the consumption of nutritious food on the consumption side and sustainability-aligned production on the supply side, there is an urgent need to promote the nutritional and ecological benefit of millets to consumers, producers, and decision-makers; improve millet production efficiencies, increase research & development investments and strengthen linkages of millets across the food sector.

The International Year of Millets provides a unique opportunity for India to help create greater awareness of millet production, contribute to food and nutritional security, and ensure sustainable livelihoods and incomes of farmers - particularly in regions that are drought-prone or threatened by climate change.
