Canadian International Food Security Research Fund (CIFSRF) : reducing barriers to millet production and consumption in India
2020
Canadian International Food Security Research Fund (CIFSRF)-supported projects are implementing innovations to increase millet consumption and farmer incomes by making it easier to process, sell, and consume millets. Innovations include the development of post-harvest processing equipment that has reduced dehulling time by 70-90%, freeing up women for other agricultural and entrepreneurial activities. The machines have other advantages: higher quality grain with less bran loss, ease in separating grains, and the ability to dehull multiple types of small millets. This one-page brief describes a successful program for increasing food security.
