Even as more and more people look better fed, illness like diabetes has swept across India. One of the reasons for this is that over the last 50 years there has been a dramatic decline in the variety of grains consumed in India. Moreover, millets that were grown organically, provided an essential nutritional balance have virtually vanished from most kitchens across India. Growing more promotion of organic food helps meet the ever-growing market demand. Apart from a huge market benefit, Farmers are able to heal their lands, bring back the cattle, sheep and goats into their lives and farms, increase the productivity of their lands and bring good food and good health for all.
