Sustainable food production through integrating knowledge of indigenous and local communities has significance for meeting the UN-SDGs (sustainable development goals). The majority of the food supply comes from cereal crops, which are exceptionally delicate to changing weather and climate conditions. Therefore, climate-resilient underutilized local crops may be a good option to be considered as potential crops for dietary diversification. The present review on Portulaca oleracea L. commonly called Purslane, having remarkable nutritional, medicinal, and pharmacological, and phytoremediation properties show significance. It is highly nutritious and has all essential minerals, vitamins, and proteins. About 93% of water, 3% of carbohydrates, and 2% of protein are present in raw Purslane. It contains dietary minerals like potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, iron, etc. Potassium is the most abundant electrolyte present in Purslane. It contains the highest content of vitamin among green leafy vegetables. There are four different types of omega-3 fatty acids found in Purslane. This is required for typical wellbeing, improvement and anticipation of various cardiovascular illnesses, and upkeep of a sound resistant framework. Purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) species is highly nutritious and can be easily grown with high production efficiency in tropical, subtropical, and underdeveloped districts of the world. The species can be easily cultivated and act as an ideal substitute for resource-poor farmers in the developing region. Considering immense nourishing benefits, this species has great potential for its utilization in the future under changing climate. Further, the species has a huge scope that can be advantageous for accomplishing the food and health benefits at the local and regional levels and may preserve agro-biodiversity for sustainable development.

通过整合土著和当地社区的知识进行可持续粮食生产对于实现联合国可持续发展目标具有重要意义。大部分粮食供应来自谷类作物，它们对不断变化的天气和气候条件特别敏感。因此，气候适应型、未充分利用的当地作物可能是一个很好的选择，被视为膳食多样化的潜在作物。马齿苋的现状评论马齿苋俗称马齿苋，具有显着的营养、药用、药理和植物修复特性，具有重要意义。它营养丰富，含有所有必需的矿物质、维生素和蛋白质。生马齿苋中含有约 93% 的水、3% 的碳水化合物和 2% 的蛋白质。它含有钾、镁、钙、磷、铁等膳食矿物质。钾是马齿苋中最丰富的电解质。它的维生素含量是绿叶蔬菜中最高的。马齿苋中含有四种不同类型的 omega-3 脂肪酸。这是正常健康、改善和预防各种心血管疾病以及维持健康抵抗系统所必需的。马齿苋 ( Portulaca oleracea)L.) 品种营养丰富，在世界热带、亚热带及经济欠发达地区均可种植，生产效率高。该物种易于种植，是发展中地区资源匮乏农民的理想替代品。考虑到巨大的营养价值，该物种在未来气候变化的情况下具有巨大的利用潜力。此外，该物种的范围广泛，有利于在地方和区域层面实现粮食和健康效益，并可以保护农业生物多样性以实现可持续发展。
