Why are millets environment-friendly crops?

Millets are considered environment-friendly crops because they require less water, fewer chemical fertilizers, and fewer pesticides than many other cereal crops. They can grow well in dry, semi-arid regions and poor-quality soils, making them suitable for areas with limited rainfall.

Millets are also resilient to drought and changing climatic conditions, helping farmers produce food even during difficult weather. Their cultivation supports sustainable agriculture, conserves natural resources, improves food security, and reduces the environmental impact of farming.
