Kudzu is actually edible. It can also be used to make clothing and baskets. It improves soil by fixing nitrogen (it's a legume) and prevents erosion. It's so prevalent in the US because of its usefulness in preventing erosion. It can be used for animal feed. Issue is that it out competes native species, not that it isn't useful
