Bamboo has a rapid growth rate and can sequester carbon from the atmosphere. But despite its potential to contribute to sustainable agriculture, the power of this versatile plant has yet to be harnessed around the world.

On this episode, we embark on a journey to the Amazon rainforest in Colombia, where IFAD is supporting rural communities in cultivating a previously undocumented native species of bamboo. Learn about the plant’s role in agroecology, its benefits for biodiversity and the role it can play in transforming food systems.
