Exploration of plant biodiversity that not only withstand extreme environmental conditions but also has the potential to fulfil sustainable development goals (SDGs) is the priority for researchers. Moringa oleifera is the best-suited plant in this category. It plays a primary role in SDGs due to its versatile features like health-beneficial effects. The polyphenols found in the different parts of this plant have exhibited health-promoting benefits and served as catalysts/resources for producing valuable ingredients. The current review outlines the potential application of Moringa oleifera in biofuel production, the synthesis of green nanomaterials, and the fortification of functional foods and feed to enhance nutritional value. Besides that, the application of Moringa oleifera in pharmaceutical products and the safety considerations associated with its utilization have also been examined. Conclusively, the review comprehensively aligns towards sustainable practices in the agro-industrial sector alongside the circular bioeconomy concept.
