Abstract

In 2015, the United Nations introduced the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals. Another major company significantly contributes to these goals. In 2015, global leaders united to embrace the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at tackling the world's most critical issues. Central to this agenda are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which provide a blueprint for fostering a more just, prosperous, and sustainable world. These goals encompass a diverse array of objectives, including the elimination of poverty and hunger, the promotion of clean energy, and the advancement of gender equality. Halfway through the 2030 deadline, it is important to keep track of completed products and work to be done. In recent times, there has been a growing concern worldwide about the relationship between environmental safety and human health. With the global population on the rise, the urgency for ensuring health and well-being has intensified. Often referred to as the “rich grain,” millet has emerged as the promise of bridging the gap between protecting the environment and improving human health. Millets offer a promising solution for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). They address ecological challenges and promote better health outcomes.
