Nutri-cereals in human health under changing climate scenario
Author(s): Sailabala Dei and AK Sinha
Abstract: Nutri-cereals are in fact the new nomenclature for millets or coarse cereals; these are the nutrient rich cereal crops generally grown in dry land regions and known as climate resilient crops. Under the changing climate scenario, nutri-cereals play an important role both in terms of their cultivation with low water requirement as well as providing nutritional securities to the deprived / under- privileged masses across the globe. Because of the abundance of nutrients -proteins, B-vitamins, calcium, magnesium. Iron, Zinc, potassium etc., their role in reducing Protein-Energy-Malnutrition, nutritional anaemia etc. and controlling blood sugar, blood pressure, G.I. disturbances etc. is very much recognised. Now, emphasis has been given by the Government to promote the production and consumption of nutri-cereals to deal with the climatic risks along with human health and diseases. The present study is an attempt to highlight the much needed nutritional role of nutri-cereals in human health & diseases under changing climate.
