Effectiveness of the four-season bamboo planting model

Bamboo Dream

After many appointments, we met her in the vast bamboo farm, the second prize winning model organized by the Provincial Women's Union. The woman who started this model is a strong and sturdy woman, unlike her name Hong Cam. Perhaps that is why the journey over the past year to get the project up and running has not been simple.

She began the story with a love for the land, for the place where she was born and raised: " I long to bring these lush green bamboo trees to develop into bamboo gardens in Binh Thuan , greening the beloved countryside of Bac Binh. Bamboo gardens will bring economic benefits, jobs, environmental protection and environmental education to the community " . But why bamboo, and not other plants, Ms. Cam said: "Once watching the news, hearing the late General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong talk about bamboo, I was naturally inspired, and then I jumped into it. At first, it was difficult, but now everything is fine".

The difficulty she mentioned was that the seedlings had to be suitable for the weather, and she had to travel many times to find a source of seedlings suitable for the land here. "As long as they survive, the bamboo will grow," Ms. Cam added. Therefore, the garden of 1,700 bamboo trees has now produced a stable source of economic benefits. The bamboo only needs time to grow and develop strongly within the first 8 months. Not only for bamboo shoots, she and her relatives also take advantage of making bonsai bamboo trees to raise the product to another value.

The 50,000 square meter land is covered with four-season bamboo, green after the recent rains. Uncle Sau, a typical farmer from years past, now supports Ms. Cam with techniques, said: This bamboo garden optimizes the use of land, water and energy resources by applying methods such as water-saving irrigation - the bamboo garden is using two forms of irrigation: flood irrigation and irrigation with a tap system to supply water to each individual bush. In addition, a reservoir system is built to both create a landscape and increase aquaculture.

In the future , Ms. Hong Cam's model will use water-saving irrigation systems such as drip irrigation systems, data-based smart irrigation systems and improve water-saving irrigation infrastructure. After the four-season bamboo garden develops stably and has revenue, Ms. Hong Cam will have more breakthroughs.

Green economic trends

*Bamboo shoots are a current source of income.*

Ms. Hong Cam's four-season bamboo model has had many advantages since the first days of implementation. First, she received support and help from her family members - people who used to be good farmers in the locality, and colleagues who "love" bamboo and want this model to develop sustainably . Ms. Cam said: "The bamboo garden is cultivated organically, using cow and chicken manure for fertilization. The irrigation system from the fish pond stores water and enriches nutrients, improves soil quality and reduces the impact on the environment.

*Uncle Sau, the person who advised Ms. Cam on the bamboo planting model.*

Since having a bamboo garden, Ms. Hong Cam has also created conditions for direct and indirect labor. study and pilot start-ups, aiming to develop the collective economy in the locality. In addition, she buys more bamboo shoots from surrounding bamboo gardens to supply to neighboring wholesale markets such as Di Linh, Da Lat.

Bamboo has the ability to absorb high CO2 and improve air quality, can be aimed at building large planting areas to help improve air quality, reduce CO2 emissions. In addition, it is also an environmentally friendly natural material when used as construction materials, handicraft production, household items...

*Both a fish pond and a water reservoir for irrigation of bamboo.*

From the dish my mother used to make when I was a child, bamboo shoots are one of the familiar dishes in family meals. Now, this is an economic model in the general development trend of the collective economy, contributing to the development of the local economy.
