Unveiling the Nexus between Millets and Government Policies: A Bibliometric Mapping Approach

Abstract

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) consist of 17 interconnected objectives established by the United Nations (U.N.) to address critical global challenges. Aiming to eradicate poverty, protect the planet’s ecosystems, and promote peaceful societies, the SDGs strive for these outcomes by 2030. Each goal targets specific issues, encouraging countries to collaborate toward creating a sustainable and equitable future for all. Millets have progressively become crucial for accomplishing these Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with their distinctive qualities and advantages. Given the evolving climatic conditions and prevailing hidden hunger, proficient research and developmental attention on millet is necessary to attain food, feed, and nutrition security. With their rich content of proteins, vitamins, and minerals, millets play a significant role in addressing hidden hunger, ensuring that the audience is well-informed and aware of this crucial aspect of food security. Henceforth, no substantial review is provided for an extensive millet and food security overview. To initiate a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the corpus of contemporary literature, this work uses a VOS viewer and Bibliometric R-package in the area of the contribution of millets and Government. To achieve this, we examined 201 documents in detail from the Scopus database to further determine the publication activities in the relevant area. Examining the subjects dealt with in this field has revealed historical development in this discipline.
