I recently watched a documentary on BBC called Forgotten Fruit. It was about the global dependency on wheat and forgetting crops like Millet. It showed some parts of Tamil Nadu where millet is being grown, realizing its importance. It also showed about an Italian lady who's on a mission to grow the fruits, people have almost forgotten.
After watching the documentary, i realized one thing that we are actually depending more on more wheat for many things. And the production is definitely not going to be enough in the coming years to meet the world demand. Maybe we should also think of re-discovering those forgotten fruits. And maybe we could start doing that by not consuming junk food and discouraging others to do the same.
What say you?
