This book presents over 40 cases of bamboo development across 22
major bamboo-industry countries and explores the knowledge gained
from their successes and failures. It synthesises experiences and
exchanges with country experts from international training courses
and consultations, study tours, and seminars. Each case includes
observations and summaries of discussions related to the
development of bamboo-based industries in a healthy, sustainable
way, and the facilitation of strategic and balanced development of
bamboo in different global regions. Industrial and artisanal bamboo
growing and processing is expanding worldwide and this book brings
together key experiences to help inform future developments. This
book provides an analysis of bamboo plant features, including
strong renewability, fast-growing, and high biomass production. It
also reviews important ecological functions of bamboos, such as
water and soil conservation, carbon sink and storage, and
adaptation to climate change, as well as addressing the diversified
culture of bamboo and key issues affecting the sector. Sustainable
