On realizing the potentiality of moringa as a nutritional security provider and the high value energy crop, much importance is attached globally, Global Moringa Meet 2015 an international Workshop presented by the ADVANCED BIOFUEL CENTER, promises to be an important event in exploring best production practices, best horticultural practices, best harvesting practices and best value addition, to be held November 21-22, 2015 at Jaipur India, is a “must attend” for all stakeholders to know the latest research and development activities and to reap the fullest potential of Moringa .
Food-based approaches recognize the central role of Moringa in improving nutrition.

The approach stresses the multiple benefits derived from various part of Moringa, a variety of foods, recognizing the nutritional value of food for good nutrition, and the importance and social significance of the agricultural and food sector for supporting rural livelihoods. Inclusion of Moringa farming and food system in existing system of agriculture and food may ensure that nutritional well-being and health of individuals is promoted, incomes and livelihoods supported, and community and national wealth created and protected.
Moringa Oleifera of the family Moringacea, referred as Moringa or drumstick, has attracted the attention of scientists across the globe for health management due to its high nutraceutical traits. Thus, it is emerging as future crops considering its wider adaptability and tolerance to many abiotic stresses. Accordingly, it became essential to take stock of knowledge and develop a road map to harness its potential for benefit of mankind.
