Millions of people worldwide are deprived of sufficient, safe, and nutritious food required for an everyday and healthy life. The hunger crisis is worsening over time, even though many attempts have been made to minimize it. Increasing world population and competition for natural resources, climate change, natural disasters, urbanization, poverty, and illiteracy are the main causes that need to be addressed to reduce the hunger crisis. Various nonfarm technologies are being used to eradicate hunger but their long-term impact on the environment should also be considered. The real sustainability of several novel technologies being implemented to deal with hunger is an issue to tackle. This paper discusses the potential applications of storage facilities, underutilized crops, waste valorization, food preservation, nutritionally enriched novel food products, and technological advancement in food processing to achieve zero hunger. An attempt has also been made to address the sustainability of various nonfarm technology utilized to minimize the global hunger crisis.

“…Its traditional uses range from healing wounds and inducing anti-inflammatory effects to promoting cognitive function and reducing anxiety (Delbo and Calapai, 2010; Govindaraj et al ., 2015). Limited genetic studies of C. asiatica pose a significant challenge in comprehending its genetic diversity and population structure, which are essential for the conservation, cultivation and genetic improvement of the species; this is of concern because the demand for natural remedies and functional foods continues to increase (Mathavaraj and Sabu, 2021; Tripathy et al ., 2022). In this study, we analysed the genetic diversity of C. asiatica collected from six different island regions in Korea, using genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) analysis to investigate the inter-regional variations in the species.…”

Despite the increasing demand for diverse Centella asiatica (L.) Urb. species in Korea, studies on related topics are limited, with the majority of studies focusing on functional evaluations, rather than genetic diversity. Therefore, in this study, we explored the genetic diversity of C. asiatica, a valuable medicinal plant collected from six island regions in Korea, using genotyping-by-sequencing analysis. Specifically, we aimed to understand plant genetic variations, population structure and the potential for conservation and genetic improvement. The results indicated relatively high genetic diversity among the samples collected from the six island regions but low genetic differentiation among their populations. Two distinct genetic clusters were identified; however, even within these clusters, genetic differentiation was minimal. The lack of significant isolation-by-distance patterns and evidence of potential clonal spread suggested that some individuals that adapted to colder Korean conditions achieved dominance. This study highlights the importance of assessing the genetic diversity of native C. asiatica in Korea and explores the possibility of conducting follow-up studies to understand the phytochemical content and bioactivity variations among the individuals. This information can aid in the selection of superior resources and effective utilization of plant genetic resources for cultivar development and other applications.

“…Centella asiatica (L.) Urb. (CA) is valued for its medicinal properties including wound healing, venous insufficiency, antibacterial, anticancer, and neuroprotective activities, and as an antidepressant [ [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] ]. Major constituents in C. asiatica leaves are triterpenoids as the four centelloside compounds asiatic acid, madecassic acid (aglycone-type), asiaticoside, and madecassoside (glycoside-type).…”

“…Major constituents in C. asiatica leaves are triterpenoids as the four centelloside compounds asiatic acid, madecassic acid (aglycone-type), asiaticoside, and madecassoside (glycoside-type). Pharmacological benefits of aglycones and glycosides include wound healing [ 1 , 7 ] and as treatment for diabetic ulcers [ 8 ], anti-inflammatory activity [ 8 , 9 ], cognitive improvement and neuroprotection [ 10 ], varicose veins and memory brain function improvement [ 4 , 10 ]. Different varieties of C. asiatica have diverse genetic backgrounds with variability in centelloside content recorded in different seasons.…”
