Bamboo is one of the most effortlessly grown and environmentally-friendly raw material resources. Unlike other woods, it doesn't need much time to grow or any kind of pesticides too. The deforestation of trees harms nature, but when it comes to bamboo, they do not create much of an impact and can be used as a substitute for the fast depleting timber resources.
Once a bamboo farm comes into existence, it could continue to exist for years with high biomass productivity, self-regeneration and inbuilt tolerating capacity in poor soils, it can grow on degraded land this is what makes it one of the best-known biomass resources. It is widely used in social, cultural, and religious functions by people and is also an integral part of the socio- economic life.
An entire plant of bamboo can be utilized 100% without any waste left behind for various purposes. Bamboo absorbs greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide and when compared to hardwood trees it releases 35% more oxygen into the atmosphere than they do.
Blessed with an amazing growth rate some of its species grow more than three feet each day! No other plant can grow at a faster rate than bamboo on this planet. When harvested, it tends to grow a new shoot from its extensive root system without the need for any additional planting or cultivation.
Bamboo is of versatile nature, it can work as a substitute for every other product derived from woods. Paper, furniture, flooring, essentials, building materials, kitchen utensils and many more products can be made out of bamboo. The bamboo fibers are far stronger than the wood fibers. They do not emit a foul smell, are antibacterial, lightweight, durable, strong, stain resistant, do not shrink or swell due to atmospheric conditions and are water resistant too. Bamboo surely has an upper hand when compared to wood.
It also doesn't require any kind of fertilizer, pesticides, or herbicides to grow. Unlike most cash crops, bamboo requires no agricultural chemicals to sustain. Cotton, which is one of the most intensely sprayed crops in the world, depletes the nutrients in the soil, while bamboo sequesters nitrogen and does not add any chemicals to the environment.
Once hardwood forests are brought down and their stumps are burned to provide fertilizer and space for growing crops, soil erosion takes place, resulting in the topsoil and nutrients being washed away by the rainfall. The eroded soil tends to clog the rivers and streams, affecting the lives of people and animals living downstream. Bamboo roots remain intact after harvesting hence they prevent erosion and help retain nutrients for the next crop.
In less developed nations where unemployment leads to civil unrest, bamboo production and manufacturing of bamboo products acts as a source of job opportunities in areas that desperately need social and economic stability.
Bamboo has the ability to grow in a variety of conditions. In the arid regions where droughts are the reason why other crops fail to flourish, bamboo can sustain itself and since the roots of bamboo are left in place even after harvesting, it helps to preserve vital moisture in the soil. Bamboo can survive from low wetlands to higher elevations in the mountains and in a wide range of climates.
Optimism and cultural cooperation. Nations tend to fight over resources, the increasing popularity of bamboo products provides an opportunity for diverse cultures to settle their differences through trade and cooperation that can benefit everyone.
