Bamboo Farm | Van den Borne

Projectcode: BBL-L-003

Certified Project

Jacob van den Borne runs a large farm in the south of the Netherlands. As a sustainable frontrunner, he is aware of the much-needed transition in agriculture. The Dutch government’s emphasis on connecting the agriculture sector with the construction sector to use fibre crops to produce building materials has motivated Jacob to plant bamboo. Jacob is potentially removing 950 tonnes of CO2 through this bamboo field. In a few years, the barren field will have been replaced by a year-round green bamboo forest, providing shelter for insects and birds, as well as mice and boars.

What makes bamboo stand out compared to other crops?

Better soils

At nature's best, because of bamboo

Bamboo stops land degradation and makes soils healthy again. With 60-70% degraded soils in the European Union, we need to act now with efficient and sustainable solutions to maintain food security, biodiversity and climate stability.

Regenerative agriculture

Accelerating the transition we need

Growing bamboo fits within the current vision of nature-inclusive agriculture and carbon farming. The fast-growing grass is one of the fastest renewable raw materials, provides a highly versatile material and offers European farmers a sustainable green business model.

Supporting climate

backed by European regulations

Managed bamboo fields can store tens of tonnes of CO2 per hectare per year in the soil. Processed into long-life materials such as building materials, bamboo stores many tonnes of carbon in addition to soil storage. Up to 1.6 tonnes of CO2 can be stored per tonne of bamboo. Therefore, bamboo is recognised by Cop 21 in Paris and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
