| contents | <p><span lang="EN-IN">Medicago sativa (alfalfa) is a cultivated legume plant known for its nutritional value, agricultural importance, and wide pharmacological potential. The present review article exhaustively discusses the phytochemical composition of M. sativa, such as flavonoids, saponins, alkaloids, and phytoestrogens, responsible for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer activities. The plant pharmacological activities are studied in both traditional and contemporary medicinal applications, listing its potential for cardiovascular wellness, hormone regulation, and immune modulation. In agriculture, M. sativa is an important forage crop that provides soil nutrient enhancement through nitrogen fixation and promotes sustainable animal nutrition. The article also focuses on the environmental contribution of alfalfa cultivation, specifically the enhancement of soil structure, erosion prevention, and greenhouse gas emission reduction. By an integrative strategy, this review confirms M. sativa's diverse function in health, agriculture, and environmental sustainability, and proposes avenues for future research and biotechnological applications. </span></p> |
