Bamboo is not just this new hipster material used for producing alternative clothes. Bamboo can be used in agroforestry systems by farmers in subtropical, semi-arid regions of the world to create sources of income, reclaim degraded land and fight the climate crisis.
Those are the findings of a recent study, published in the journal, Agroforestry Systems, this April, entitled Bamboo-based agroforestry system (Dendrocalamus strictus + sesame–chickpea) for enhancing productivity in semi-arid tropics of central India.
