Abstract
Nutritional advantages, food quality, and environmental benefits can all be derived from the inclusion of small millets in the diet. The poster promotes awareness, use and consumption of small millets, with a visual guide to identification of varieties and their salient features. Small millet products can substitute for anything made from rice, and the poster reinforces the positive health and environmental benefits of replacing rice with small millet grains. Varietal diversity, cultivated area and consumption have declined drastically in the last two decades in India.
