**5. Conclusion**

The foregoing discussions have explored the broader aspects of bamboo, cast as it were within the discourse on sustainable development. To conclude, the above findings of pertinence are worth reiterating here in debating the future challenges confronting the bamboo industry, even though the bamboo industry has contributed a lot to Malaysia's economy. Land use policy choice is becoming more concerned as conservation groups have asserted that much of the land is being cleared to grow bamboo, while increasing the carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere, bamboo is the best plant to utilize this carbon dioxide. There is still considerable scope for increased utilization and value added products from bamboo. Malaysia stands to benefit from such a policy turn as bamboo industry is able to participate in cutting edge agricultural research and innovation. To get in-depth knowledge about the structural use of bamboo the study on fundamental properties is a necessary step towards the effective utilization of bamboo in market. With more research, a large number of value-added bamboo products for higher profitability could be made available in the market. If implemented effectively, the policy turn to diversify bamboo products will reflect the bamboo industry's green revolution effort towards a sustainable future.
