Building an Industry that restores
indonesian landscapes.

A Bamboo Restoration economy….

88 million hectares of degraded land

 Bamboo is fastest solution for restoring degraded lands.

 From the social aspect and the economic its easier and quicker.
 Environmental benefits

A bamboo clump is a 5000 liter

holding water tank.

 EBF published this book in 2012
as a foundation to the bamboo
village process…

Starting January 2017 we are

working with CIFOR, ICRAF and
FOERDIA to update and improve it.
 The Bamboo village model demands that Industry purchase a semi
finished good.

1. 300 Hectares
2. 30 households
3. Producing 3 tons per day.

The forestry model for a Bamboo village:

1. 70,000 Plantlings
2. Planted on +/- 2000 hectare
3. On average 35 Clumps per hectare
(agroforestry model).
The forestry model for a Bamboo village:

Harvest yields:

6 Poles per clump, After year 7 to year 10 (36 culms in a mature clump)

10 Poles per clump per year after year 10.

 It Starts with a Nursery:
We Plant 70,000 plantlings in a 10 hectare nursery.

2-3 years in nursery.

Target height: 5 meters.

Is irrigated and given nutrient on a weekly basis.

 TWO FAQ’s on Planting:

1. Isn’t bamboo a fire risk?

2. Can bamboo grow in peat?

A1. Giant bamboo’s are not a fire risk. Chinese

There are Peat Bamboo’s; Gigantochloa sp.
