International year of the millet - Millets for the future

On this episode we have part 1 of our International Year of the Millet (IYM) conversation. In partnership with the Global Crop Diversity Trust we spoke with Shivali Sharma and Dennis Tippe who are working on the BOLD Finger millet pre-breeding work aimed at using genetic diversity to come up with the best varieties of finger millet. We also explore the various nutritional and agronomic benefits of finger millet to farmers. Tune in to learn more.
