摘要：

In the realm of global diets, green leafy vegetables are recognized for their culinary flexibility and nutritional value. This paper presents a thorough investigation of green leafy plants, exploring their botanical diversity and their impact on health, socio-economic, cultural, and environmental aspects. Beginning with an examination of their taxonomy and current consumption trends, the paper delves into their nutritional benefits, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Furthermore, it discusses their potential contributions to biodiversity, sustainable agriculture, and environmental resilience. Future perspectives explore technological advances, market dynamics and production sustainability, while considering the impacts of climate change on post-harvest handling. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, the paper provides holistic insights into the implications of green leafy vegetable production and consumption, emphasizing their important role in addressing global challenges in promoting human health and sustainable development. Overall, it advocates for further research, policy initiatives, and collective action to promote the cultivation, consumption, and integration of wider variety of green leafy vegetables into food systems for a healthier and more sustainable future.
