Millets, often called Nutri-cereals, are easily digestible, gluten-free, having low glycemic index, and are high in antioxidants. The ever-changing global climate and water shortages also direct humans to look for alternative food for stable cereals like rice. Millets are a good fit for harsh climates, especially water and fertilizer shortages. The major reasons for decrease in the consumption of millets are the lack of production techniques, lack of awareness of nutritional merits and lack of processing technologies of millets. It has become imperative to reorient the efforts on the millets crop to generate demand through value-addition of processed foods, nutritional evaluation and creation of awareness, so that human and animal health can be maintained sustainably. Millets have the potential nutritional, pharmaceutical properties that fulfill the requirement of the habitat, and obviate dependence on major food crops. Millets will become alternative crops to feed ever-growing new mouth to feed. This book provides a comprehensive source of theoretical and practical updates about climate resilience and the nutrition supplementation roles of millets. It also covers the production, marketing, and value-added product development of millets. This book is a valuable resource for scientists, teachers, agriculturists, capacity builders, the food industry, and policymakers and will serve as additional reading material for undergraduate and postgraduate students of life science. 410 0$aBiomedical and Life Sciences Series 606 $aSubsistence farming 606 $aAgricultural biotechnology 606 $aAgricultural genome mapping 606 $aFood science 606 $aNutrition 606 $aSubsistence Agriculture 606 $aAgricultural Biotechnology 606 $aAgricultural Genetics 606 $aFood Science 606 $aNutrition 615 0$aSubsistence farming. 615 0$aAgricultural biotechnology. 615 0$aAgricultural genome mapping. 615 0$aFood science. 615 0$aNutrition. 615 14$aSubsistence Agriculture. 615 24$aAgricultural Biotechnology. 615 24$aAgricultural Genetics. 615 24$aFood Science. 615 24$aNutrition. 676 $a630 700 $aCeasar$b Stanislaus Antony$01850613 701 $aPenna$b Suprasanna$01589018 701 $aCarvalho$b Carlos W.
