ICRISAT-Bred Chakti Millet: A Climate-Smart Solution Boosting Food and Nutrition Security in Niger
In Niger, where millet is a staple crop, climate change poses severe threats to food security. The ICRISAT-Bred Chakti Millet (Pearl Millet), developed in collaboration with the National Institute of Agricultural Research of Niger (INRAN), is proving to be a game-changer. This early-maturing, nutrient-rich variety matures in just 60 days, which is half the time of traditional millet, helping farmers combat erratic rainfall and drought.
