Revaloriser les millets en Inde : les produits biologiques et écologiques au bénéfice de l’environnement et de la santé

India, which has to provide food to a large population of 1.21
billion, faces many issues : an ecological milieu which has been
seriously degraded ; an insufficient yield of agricultural products ;
and the increasing development of food-related diseases. The
Green Revolution, which has promoted chemical inputs and
commercial crops at the expense of the diversity of food products,
is partly responsible for this situation. However, organic and
ecological systems of agriculture, which are relatively similar
in their cultivation methods, but different in perspectives, may
provide solutions to protect the environment and to diversify food
patterns. One solution is to reintroduce millet in cultivation and
consumption. Unappreciated by consumers today, these cereals
thanks to their cultural and nutritional qualities are appropriate
for the development of sustainable agriculture and food.
