dc.description.abstractPromotion of indigenous and value added millet products through demonstrations, training, cooking competitions and messages through radio, magazines and newspapers have enhanced the knowledge and readiness to incorporate millets in daily diets to improve nutritional security; awareness raising campaigns have also improved market structure with respect to availability of millets in retail shops. This thesis study details factors influencing the cultivation of little millets, with suggestions for improving postharvest management. Government and non-government organizations together can develop integrated policy and strategies for sustainable production and promotion of traditional crops for food and nutritional security.en
