During the last decade, research has shown the environment and human health benefits of growing buckwheat ( spp.). This comprehensive review aims to summarize the major advancements made in the study of buckwheat from 2013 to 2023, focusing on its agronomic characteristics, nutritional value, and potential applications in sustainable agriculture. The review examines the diverse applications of buckwheat in organic and agroecological farming systems, and discusses the ability of buckwheat to control weeds through allelopathy, competition, and other sustainable farming methods, such as crop rotation, intercropping and green manure, while improving soil health and biodiversity. The review also explores the nutritional value of buckwheat. It delves into the composition of buckwheat grains, emphasizing their high protein content, and the presence of essential amino acids and valuable micronutrients, which is linked to health benefits such as lowering cholesterol levels, controlling diabetes and acting against different types of cancer, among others. Finally, the review concludes by highlighting the gaps in current knowledge, and proposing future research directions to further optimize buckwheat production in organic or agroecological farming systems. It emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary collaboration, and the integration of traditional knowledge with modern scientific approaches to unlock the full potential of buckwheat as a sustainable crop.
在过去十年中，研究表明种植荞麦（荞麦属）对环境和人类健康有益。这篇综述旨在总结2013年至2023年荞麦研究的主要进展，重点关注其农艺特性、营养价值以及在可持续农业中的潜在应用。该综述考察了荞麦在有机和农业生态种植系统中的多种应用，并讨论了荞麦通过化感作用、竞争以及其他可持续种植方法（如轮作、间作和绿肥）来控制杂草的能力，同时改善土壤健康和生物多样性。该综述还探讨了荞麦的营养价值。它深入研究了荞麦籽粒的成分，强调其高蛋白含量以及必需氨基酸和有价值的微量营养素的存在，这些与降低胆固醇水平、控制糖尿病和对抗不同类型癌症等健康益处相关。最后，该综述通过突出当前知识的差距并提出未来研究方向来得出结论，以进一步优化有机或农业生态种植系统中的荞麦生产。它强调了跨学科合作的必要性，以及将传统知识与现代科学方法相结合以释放荞麦作为可持续作物的全部潜力。
