Grown in the Himalaya under natural conditions, without the use of pesticide, Himalayan Koni (Foxtail millet) has a high mineral content including iron, magnesium and zinc. Foxtail millet is gluten free, diabetic friendly and has a high fiber and protein content.Foxtail Millet is rich in Vitamin B12 which is essential for maintaining a healthy heart, smooth functioning of the nervous system, and in general good for skin and hair growth. A diet including Foxtail Millet may improve glycemic control and reduce insulin, cholesterol and fasting glucose in Type-2 diabetes patients.Foxtail Millet is an healthy alternative to Rice. It is Gluten-free food. It is rich in Iron, Calcium & Minerals - Manganese, Magnesium, Phosphorous. It is a diabetic-friendly food, high in fiber, protein and low in glycemic index (causes steady increase in blood sugar post consumption as compared to rice).Foxtail millet has roots in Northern China and India going back at least 8,000 years and is named for the tapered tail-like panicle (an inflorescence, or clustered flower, with many branches) containing its seeds.
The Himalayas, or Himalaya is a mountain range in Asia, separating the plains of the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan Plateau. The Himalayas include the highest mountains in the world, and are known for their soaring heights, steep-sided jagged peaks, valleys, and alpine glaciers, deep river gorges, and a series of elevational belts that display different ecological associations of flora, fauna, and climate .The Himalayas are home to some of the most exotic locations in the world, featuring the highest peaks on Earth, snow-clad landscapes, beautiful meadows, lakes, rivers and valleys.This immense mountain range began to form between 40 and 50 million years ago, when two large landmasses, India and Eurasia, driven by plate movement, collided. Because both these continental landmasses have about the same rock density, one plate could not be subducted under the other.
Sorghum and millet are important food crops in the semi-arid tropics, but their yields
have remained low and unstable because of a range of environmental constraints.
Increasing and stabilizing their production is thus an important part of ICRISAT's
mandate, and we were pleased to sponsor with the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) this symposium on the agrometeorology of sorghum and millet.
The main objective of the symposiumâ??the fourth in a WMO series on the
agrometeorology of single cropsâ??was to encourage the practical use of climatic
data to improve production, by assessing the extent and intensity of climatic risks
and by studying the response of the crop to its growing environment. In the Sahel
region of Africa, for example, such studies may play a key role in helping farmers
adjust age-old cropping practices to meet changes in climate. Besides the
scientific papers and discussions, the symposium included a practical workshop on
computer techniques, during which participants used ICRISAT computers and
operational models to analyze data from their own countries. Work is already under
way to translate some of the symposium recommendations into practice.
I hope these proceedings will be of help to both researchers and agricultural
planners throughout the semi-arid tropics.
