Experts Call for Revival of Traditional Farming at Millet Mela

At a Millet Mela held in Andhra Pradesh, speakers emphasized the need to bring back traditional farming methods to ensure sustainable agriculture and farmer welfare. They explained that earlier farming practices were more eco-friendly, protected soil health, and required less water compared to modern chemical-based farming.

The speakers highlighted that millets are well suited for dry regions and changing climate conditions. Unlike water-intensive crops, millets can grow with minimal rainfall and fewer external inputs. They also pointed out that millets are highly nutritious and can improve public health while supporting farmers economically.

Experts said that returning to traditional crops and natural farming methods can help farmers reduce costs, improve income stability, and protect the environment. They encouraged farmers to move away from excessive use of chemicals and adopt age-old practices that are safer for both people and the land.

The Millet Mela displayed a variety of millet-based foods and products, creating awareness about the benefits of traditional grains. The event aimed to inspire farmers, consumers, and young people to value traditional farming knowledge and make it part of modern agriculture for a healthier future.
