Positioning Bamboo Resources
for 21st Century Sustainability
– from rhizomes to resilience
Since 2004, Pacific Bamboo Resources (PBR) has brought together citizens, students and professionals, and leaders in government, business and academics — locally, regionally, and internationally — to pursue new ideas for sustainable bamboo resources, resilient food systems, and related sustainable community and economic development.
With thousands of uses, bamboo has been an enduring, international resource of food and fuel, tools and building materials, housing, furniture, art and more for thousands of years. Often regarded as the principle resource of the world’s poor, the demand for bamboo has grown to become a tremendous economic force, a resource of increasing interest and value, and catalyst for sustainable development.

- audio and video technology (to support program research and outreach);
- website design and maintenance (have web skills — join us!);
