The Millet Revival Project, a collaboration between The Locavore and Rainmatter Foundation aims to reinvigorate India’s relationship with millets, combining in-depth research, community engagement, and impactful storytelling to highlight the grain’s health and ecological benefits.

MILLET STORIES

What kind of stories have you been reading about millets this past year? Through these stories, we want to bring you diverse and nuanced narratives featuring growers whose work we believe in, and underrepresented accounts of relationships with millets. We explore how complex the millet system really is, and their role in a fulfilling future for everyone. 

MILLET RECIPES

How often do millets feature in your meals? At the Millet Revival Project, we savour recipes that celebrate the versatility and heritage of different regions, communities, and millet varieties across the Indian subcontinent. Oh, and recipes that are paired with delicious stories — those are our favourite kinds!

MILLET RESOURCE BANK

Welcome to the Millet Resource Bank, a pivotal component of the Millet Revival Project. This initiative aims to rejuvenate the cultivation, distribution, and accessibility of millets across diverse regions of India. Our resource bank is a dynamic repository that brings together farmers, consumer brands, restaurants, and collaborators to foster conversations and partnerships within the millet space.
