The United Nations General Assembly has declared 2023 as the International Year of Millets, a move proposed by India. During its G20 presidency, India can emerge as a global learning hub on millet production. This policy brief presents options to mainstream the production and consumption of millets in the G20 countries. It applies principles of agroecology and proposes the creation of farmers’ collectives to meet the supply-side challenges of mainstreaming millets. It further recommends behavioural interventions to overcome the demand-side challenges associated with mainstreaming the millets.
