Foxtail Millet (Setaria italica) originated in the northern regions of our country and has a long history of cultivation11.Millet is a C4 plant in the genus Setaria of the grass family. It was domesticated and cultivated about 8,000 years ago. In the late Neolithic Age, millet gradually replaced glutinous broom corn and became an important food in northern China [2].According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the global production of millet accounts for about 1-2% of all cereals, although it is relatively small in the global cereal production, but in some countries and regions, especially in India, some countries in Africa and a small part of China, it is one of the important staple foods [3].In traditional agricultural areas, especially in sub-Saharan Africa and India, millet is a daily staple, often joining other crops (such as rice, wheat, beans) to form a diverse diet. It is not only a basic source of nutrition, but also is often used to make wine, pastries and other foods, enhancing the diversity of the diet [4].Millet has high nutritional value, good adaptability, drought resistance, flood resistance and barren resistance. At present, India faces both nutrition and agriculture problems. The largest area of farmland with irrigation capacity has been basically used up, while the area of dry land is constantly expanding. To achieve nutritional security and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), millet is a sustainable solution with high nutritional
