Farmers and villagers can increase their standard of living by contributing to the neem industry.
Environmental Conditions
Environmental degradation and bad sanitation lead to problems such as milky water.
Neem grows well despite the depleted soils and erosion, and can help stabilize and rebuild the environment.
Some of Senegal’s environment is doing quite well, as evidenced by the size of the prawn that Dr. Faye is holding.
