In this age of climate change, discover how pearl millet is considered a viable alternative cereal crop for semi-arid and hot areas
Pearl millet, a warm-season, dryland cereal crop, is a staple food for over 90 million people in Africa and Asia. Its nutritional superiority relative to other cereal crops, such as rice, wheat, maize, and sorghum, and its hardiness and adaptability to harsh environments and poor soils make it a potentially life-saving resource for poor populations and/or areas hit by damaging climatic conditions. With climate change Placing an ever-greater strain on global agrifood systems, pearl millet has never been a more important crop in the fight against poverty, hunger, and malnutrition.
Pearl Millet offers a thorough introduction to this potentially vital grain. Coming on the heels of a 2023 United Nations declaration of the 'International Year of Millets,' it is a crucial intervention in an essential humanitarian project. It is the first comprehensive book on the subject to appear in print.
Key Features:
- Analysis of a potential lead crop for climate-change-affected areas
- Detailed coverage of all pearl millet's unique features, such as inherent genetic diversity, gluten free applications, and suitability for double cropping
- An author team with vast research and crop development experience
Pearl Millet is ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, certified and practicing professionals, as well as industry and academic researchers.
