As we work towards strengthening nutrition & sustainable agriculture, it's encouraging to see such focus on plant-based proteins that is beneficial to both people & the environment

Great thread, _but I'd like to point out that,_ India is not importing $66 million worth of bamboo because of the Forest Act. Yes, it was a barrier until 2017, but the real reason is that we have not yet understood how we can source and use the Indian bamboo stock because
