GSA GLOBAL MILLETS EXPO

GSA Global Sorghum & Millets Expo with Multi-Stakeholders is a flagship event of The Global Eye International Institute For Leadership in Partnership with Purdue University College of Agriculture - Food Science Department and in association with Nutrihub, ICAR-IIMR organized this year at Yellow Box, Naperville, Chicago, Illinois, USA.

The purpose of this convention is to bring together all the stakeholders from the Nutri Cereals industry, from producers to processors to consumers as well as researchers, academicians, and policymakers, who are working across the value chain to engage in meaningful and actionable discussions for the promotion of Nutri Cereals across the country.

Millets also known as Nutri-Cereals are highly nutritious, small-grained, dryland cereals. These Nutri-cereals are one among the oldest crops known for their cultivation and consumption even before a millennium, primarily in Asia and Africa. Currently over 131 countries across the globe are cultivating millets and more than 60 Crore people are consuming millets as their staple food.Millets are quite remarkable cereals that are a storehouse of complex carbohydrates, protein, polyphenols, dietary fiber, antioxidants, minerals, and phytochemicals. This nutritious mixture of millets is the elixir for modern- day problems such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and obesity.

Millets can also be a solution for the current global phenomena of climate change owing to the high production capacity, lower cost of production, and high tolerance to drought and heat. Thus, considering the potential associated with millets, the United Nations General Assembly at its 75th session in March 2021 declared 2023 the International Year of Millets (IYM 2023).
