This project aims at strengthening important sources of food and income through stimulating utilization of invasive bush species as animal feed, charcoal or other woodfuels, among others.

It is implemented in two phases: phase 1 (Aug 2017 – Mar 2018) delivered a viability analysis – Strategic Action Program – that recommends investing in a demonstration plant to test actual viability, the technology, and to enable fine tuning and refining the products and business model; phase 2 (Apr 2018 – Nov 2020) entails the planning, facility start-up, and testing of the demonstration plant.
