Abstract: This comprehensive study thoroughly examines the current state of millet production in Chhattisgarh, India, with a multifaceted approach. It encompasses an in-depth analysis of various factors influencing millet production in the region, ranging from environmental conditions to agricultural practices and government initiatives. Millets, often called “smart food,” are resilient crops that can thrive in drought-prone areas while demanding significantly less water than other staple grains like wheat and rice. The research underscores millets’ remarkable nutritional value and health benefits, highlighting their significance in addressing the dual challenges of malnutrition and climate change. Millets have the potential to play a pivotal role in ensuring food security and mitigating the impact of climate change, making their resurgence a matter of global importance. This research underscores the growing importance of millets as a resilient and nutritious crop and a potential solution to pressing global challenges. By assessing their production, nutritional benefits, and consumer perceptions, this study provides insights that can drive policy and industry efforts to harness the full potential of millets in promoting food security, mitigating climate change, and advancing healthier dietary choices.
