BAMFEST

Bamboo today contributes to the subsistence needs of over a billion people, and has played a significant role in human society since time immemorial. Traditional uses as varied as fuel, food, housing and shelter, tools, and music comprise but a part of the broad spectrum of bamboo use. At the same time, equally important are bamboo’s industrial uses and its potential role in mankind’s future. Bamboo for pulp and paper, construction and engineering materials, panel products, and an array of modern uses are becoming better known.
