Millets, often referred to as “forgotten grains”, are a diverse group of small-seeded grasses that have been cultivated for thousands of years across different cultures and continents. Many varieties of millets, as whole grains, can be an important part of healthy diets – offering various nutrients including essential minerals, vitamins and dietary fibre.

The small-scale fisheries and aquaculture sector in Asia Small in scale, big in value
2022
Author(s): FAO, INFOFISH
The United Nations General Assembly has declared 2022 the International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture (IYAFA 2022). FAO is the agency leading the advocacy activities for the Year, in collaboration with other entities of the United Nations. Celebrating IYAFA 2022 gives important recognition to the millions of small-scale fishers, fish farmers and fish workers who provide healthy and nutritious food to billions of people and contribute to achieving Zero Hunger.

Fishing is one of the most dangerous occupations in India due to poor occupational safety and unhealthy working conditions. In both the marine and the inland sector, fishing communities have to work for long hours without proper infrastructure. Violence, exploitation, child labour, sexual abuse, discriminations of wages between male and female fish workers, forced labour and poor security at sea increase the vulnerability of these fishing communities, especially small-scale fishers. About 90 percent of this sector belongs to the category of small-scale fishing communities, mainly fishers, fish farmers and fish workers.
