Recent enthusiasm for Moringa Oleifera Lam. feeds on contemporary fascination with nutraceuticals, broadly incorporated in the global reshaping of the discourse of food. While moringa has been rightfully appointed as a prospective global crop for its numerous benefits, it is equally true that an upsurge in its demand may have deleterious side-effects on human physiology, sustainable cultivation, and fair treatment of native ecosystems. In view of mitigating such dangerous pitfalls, the present book conducts a trans-national analysis on the linguistic aspects concerning the evaluation of moringa in different textual genres. The ultimate aim is to raise awareness on possible mis-representations driven by profit or unverified information.
