Pinoy bamboo entrepreneur digs in on poverty, climate threats

LONDON—Mark Sultan Gersava grew up in poverty, one of 12 children of a slash-and-burn subsistence farmer in the Philippines province of Sultan Kudarat.

"His firm Bambuhay helps farmers shift from slash-and-burn agriculture, which accounts for about a third of deforestation in the Philippines, to growing bamboo, now in demand as an alternative material to throw-away plastic."
