日本語
本ミニレビューは、シコクビエ（finger millet）が気候変動適応型作物として炭素隔離と持続可能な食料システムに貢献する可能性を評価する。乾燥耐性、低投入要件、優れた栄養価を持ち、広範な根系と遅延老化によりバイオマス生産と地下炭素投入を促進する。育種やアグロノミーの進展により低炭素生産に適した品種が開発されているが、政策支援や市場インセンティブの不足が普及の障壁となっている。
English
This mini-review evaluates finger millet as a climate-smart crop for carbon sequestration and sustainable food systems. It highlights drought tolerance, low input needs, and extensive root systems that enhance biomass and belowground carbon inputs. Breeding advances have produced nutrient-dense, stress-resilient varieties for low-carbon production. Adoption is constrained by limited policy support, weak market incentives, and low awareness of carbon farming opportunities.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Finger millet is emerging as a climate-smart cereal with strong potential for carbon farming and sustainable food systems. As an underutilized crop with inherent drought tolerance, low input requirements and superior nutritional quality, it supports agricultural resilience while contributing to carbon sequestration in marginal environments. Its extensive root architecture, delayed senescence and sustained photosynthetic activity under stress conditions promote biomass production and belowground carbon inputs. This mini review evaluates the capacity and role of finger millet to transform agri-food systems through improved carbon capture, enhanced nutrient cycling and strengthened food and nutritional security. Recent advances in breeding, genomics and agronomy have generated nutrient-dense and stress-resilient varieties optimized for low-carbon production systems. Integrating conservation agriculture, residue retention and intercropping can further enhance soil organic carbon accumulation and system sustainability. Despite its potential, adoption remains constrained by limited policy support, weak market incentives and low awareness of carbon farming opportunities. Therefore, targeted research, participatory breeding and carbon credit frameworks are essential for mainstreaming finger millet in climate-smart agriculture.
