Abstract:

Dietary patterns hold profound implications for our health and well-being and that of our planet. In this context, the exploration of nutritious grains becomes not only a culinary adventure but also an act of conscious sustainability. It is with great pleasure and anticipation that I present to you this recipe book, dedicated to the wondrous world of millets – a staple food and integral part of local food cultures in many countries. In recent years, the global community has embarked on an urgent quest to address the interlinked challenges of food security, healthy diets and related outcomes, and the environmental sustainability of our food systems. This interconnectedness is clearly framed in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Making changes to our dietary patterns, including the inclusion of millets in our diets, presents each of us as individuals with an opportunity to make a small contribution towards multiple SDGs at once.
