“Bamboo being grass, all 1640 species have a very strong root system that
binds soil, and are the fastest growing plants making them best suited for
restoring unproductive farmland, erosion control and maintaining slope
stability,” Hans Friederich, Director-General of the International Network
for Bamboo and Rattan (INBAR), told IPS from their Beijing headquarters.

Bamboo is a strategic resource that many countries are increasingly using
to restore degraded soil and reverse the dangers of desertification.
