Moringa Oleifera, a fast-growing tree native to the Himalayan regions of northwestern India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan, belongs to the Moringaceae family. This family comprises the genus Moringa, which includes at least 13 recognized species, with Oleifera being the most renowned. Widely adaptable, Moringa Oleifera has become native to many tropical and subtropical regions, earning it nearly 100 different names across various cultures.
The tree is distinguished by its low soil and environmental demands, combined with an impressive ability to produce high-value biomass. This versatility has led to its designation as the "miracle tree." The continually expanding list of Moringa's beneficial properties and potential applications continues to captivate researchers, despite the significant amount of research that has already been completed.
Moringa holds promise as a resource for addressing many of our global challenges and we look forward to the day where this tree's potential can be realised across both developed and developing countries for the benefit of humanity.
