In the states?  Aside from $ I'd say a lobbyist, but I have nothing to really substantiate this...

What's to keep bamboo from becoming a "highly subsidized vested interest" ?

Just wondering, not trying to be contentious !

Thanks

Interesting article. 

We need more research about other superior attributes that can  make bamboo and rattan more widely respected as a viable alternative to the highly subsidized corn-cotton-timber vested interests..They killed it here in the USA, but proper education and promotion could bring the research back.

Does anyone know where the biggest private bamboo plantation in the world is?  I would like to see that.

Interest in this group seems to have gone down, but tough times are just the right time to get prepared for the "bamboo revolution" that could propel sustainable alternatives based upon biomass to market dominance.
