"Every single one of us, All the 8 billion people has our physical, economical and spiritual health strongly tied to the health of the green cover, our forests ecosystem, and with what we do is in our hands".
Adopting a long-term view, Bafow aims at planting millions of a high-quality, non-invasive, clumping bamboo varieties as part of creation of the thriving agroforest. Once fully grown, we would harvest only 30%-40% of the bamboo growth in each clump, leaving intact the remaining green cover for continued sequestering of Carbon Dioxide (CO2). After harvest, the emerging new shoots would grow to full height within twelve months, thus replacing fully the lost green cover. Bamboo can be harvested without the need to replant through its useful life of 40-120 years. Multiple products from Bafow's harvested bamboo culms produced will be processed to cater to various industries of timber, textiles, paper, charcoal,power generations,construction etc.
Bafow by creating consumer awareness also is coming up with its own timber industry with uninterrupted supply chain.
