Bamboo grows rapidly and can quickly absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide, effectively reducing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and acting as a climate change mitigation crop.

Bamboo requires significantly less water to grow compared to other plants like cotton. The more that gets harvested, the faster it grows. Dense roots form an effective water barrier and are used to protect crops from getting washed away by rising water tables.

Bamboo grows in poor soils and has biodegradable properties; it decomposes naturally. This can create a nutrient-rich compost, nourishing plants and enriching the soil.
