Impact

What we do

As part of the India Millet Initiative, we developed a program to encourage farmers in millet production, spreading awareness and enrolling new farmers to expand cultivable lands. We help farmers implement effective cultivation methods and improve pest control to prevent losses from attacks by pests. We are also creating seed-hubs for breeding and collaborating with technology institutes for millet processing and product development.
