BAMBOO PLANTATION

The bamboo plantation serves as a key step in promoting sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation. After successful nursery development, healthy bamboo seedlings are transplanted into well-prepared fields. The plantation is carefully managed with regular weeding, watering, and monitoring to ensure strong growth. This initiative provides long-term benefits, including soil stabilization, climate resilience, and future opportunities for value addition in crafts, construction, and food. The plantation also creates employment and empowers local communities—especially women and youth—through active involvement in bamboo farming.

SETTING UP THE NURSERY BED FOR THE EADIBLE BAMBOO SEEDLINGS

A well-prepared nursery bed is essential for healthy bamboo seedling growth. It starts with choosing a shaded, well-drained site enriched with compost. Raised beds are created to improve drainage and aeration. Bamboo seeds or cuttings are planted in rows, watered regularly, mulched, and protected from pests. After 3–4 months of monitoring, strong seedlings are ready for transplanting, ensuring better survival and productivity in the field
