These crops don't get affected by drought, they are quick to flower, and that's the only way we can beat the drought, the 59-year old said, smiling broadly. Millets, including sorghum, now take up over two hectares of her land a patch where maize was once the crop of choice. Farmers like Nyamukunguvengu in the developing world are on the front lines of a project proposed by India that has led the U.N.'s Food and Agricultural Organisation to christen 2023 as The Year of Millets, an effort to revive a hardy and healthy crop that has been cultivated for millennia but was largely elbowed aside by European colonists who favored corn, wheat and other grains.

"At least today we have it (power) and we hope that as we go forward the lights will not go out. With the threat from COVID-19 receding, Zimbabwe has loosened restrictions on travel and gatherings. But a buoyant holiday mood is not lifting the country which is also coping with the world's highest food inflation. Globally, food prices have spiked as a result of the war in Ukraine and Zimbabweans are hard hit. The southern African nation of 15 million people has the
