Prosopis in Somaliland - a tree as threat and opportunity

Prosopis was brought decades ago from South America to Somaliland and all of Africa to stop desertification. It is an aggressive tree, that is spreading uncontrolled now. The best pastures along the river courses are overgrown, fields are increasingly threatened. But with the right knowledge, animal feed, food for people, fertilizer, charcoal and much more can be produced. The company Landerprosopis wants to fight the invasive plant and earn money with it.
