Why join the Global Millets Foundation - GMF -10 Compelling Reasons.
Global Millets Foundation is a non-profit organization that focuses on promoting sustainable agriculture practices and preserving the rich agro-biodiversity of mother earth. Joining Global Millets Foundation can be beneficial in several ways:
1. Be on a Mission of Making India Healthier
by joining Global Millets Foundation, you will be supporting a noble cause of making our community healthier. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of people suffering from lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, BP and obesity. Many of these conditions are linked to poor nutrition and unhealthy eating habits. This is increasingly prevalent in modern society.
Through its various initiatives and programs, the Global Millets Foundation seeks to educate people about the health benefits of millets and encourage them to incorporate millets into their daily diet. This can help to reduce the risk of lifestyle diseases and improve overall health and well-being. You can actively participate in awareness campaigns, workshops, and seminars to educate people about the benefits of millets and sustainable agricultural practices.
2. Lending a helping hand to local farmers and promoting sustainable agricultural practises.
In addition to promoting the consumption of organic millets, the Global Millets Foundation works towards creating a more sustainable food system. By supporting small-scale farmers and marginal farmers in promoting the use of traditional seeds, the Foundation aims to create a food security system that is resilient, diverse, and sustainable. We aim to work the local farmers to promote the cultivation of millets and other sustainable crops, which can help to protect the environment and preserve traditional farming practices.
Through its various programs and initiatives, Global Millets Foundation seeks to empower local farmers by providing them with the knowledge, resources, and support they need to succeed. This include imparting training and education on sustainable agricultural practices,
connecting farmers with markets and buyers, and providing financial assistance and resources to help them grow and expand their operations. In addition to supporting local farmers, Global Millets Foundation is also focused on promoting sustainable agriculture practices that are better for the environment. This can include practices such as crop rotation, intercropping, and natural pest control methods, which can help to reduce the need for harmful pesticides and fertilizers. By joining the Foundation, you can be part of this important mission and contribute to a better future for all.
3. Value Addition and Value Creation are the twin keys
Global Millets Foundation serves as a bridge between local farmers and millet value-added product manufacturers. The Foundation works closely with farmers to promote the cultivation of millets and provide them with the necessary training and resources to produce high- quality crops. At the same time, Global Millets Foundation also works with value-added product manufacturers to create a remunerative market for millet-based products and increase their visibility and accessibility to consumers.
By bridging the gap between farmers and manufacturers, local farmers are able to sell the millet crops at fair prices, while manufacturers have access to a reliable supply of high- quality millets. By serving as a bridge between local farmers and millet value-added product manufacturers, Global Millets Foundation is helping to build a more sustainable and prosperous future for all.
