Finca Yantza, Ecuador, tropical humid climate, located at the edge of the amazon-basin and the great Andee-mountain range in Ecuador, LATAM. I just two years regeneration of degraded pasture land on a very steep hill with Guadua Bamboo for perpetual harvest and carbon sequestration. Guadua angustifolia is by far the most important bamboo in America. Did you know that when the canes of a mature guadua bamboo plant are harvested, the new culms that sprout up the following season will get to be just as large? This means it can be harvested annually, and the harvest will not reduce the following years’s yield. On the contrary, harvesting bamboo actually encourages the plant to produce more numerous shoots. Think of the pruning effect.
