Abstract:
A rising population translates into a constant demand for food. There is conflict over resources like land and water as a result of this worldwide concern. The quantity and quality of these resources are directly impacted by climate change, which has a negative impact on our food systems and land efficiency, particularly for the production of important cereals crops conventionally grown in the region. In this review paper, an attempt is made to examine the availability of resources like soil and water in various parts of the world. The majority of these studies forecast a decline in the production rates of various grain crops. Additionally, it is well recognized that all the major cereal crops contribute more to global warming than alternative crops like millet, which should be taken into account in reducing global food insecurity. Therefore, this paper predicted how millets crops under the present scenario of climate change could help to ease the strain on the ecosystem as these crops have lower water, fertilizers, and energy footprints as a whole.
