The issuance of Law 2206 of May 17, 2022 "whereby the productive use of bamboo and bamboo and its environmental sustainability in the national territory is encouraged", the recognition by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MADR) of the bamboo/guadua productive chain, through Decree 009 of January 25, 2021, the issuance of Decree 690 of June 24, 2021 "Whereby the Sole Regulatory Decree 1076 of 2015 is added and modified, of the Environment and Sustainable Development sector, in relation to the sustainable management of wild flora and non-timber forest products", together with the provisions of Decree 1740 of October 24, 2016 "Whereby general guidelines are established for the management, harvesting and establishment of bamboo and bamboo groves", generate great challenges and challenges that merit an analysis of the new regulatory context of this sector of the national economy, present throughout the territory. The normative analysis carried out in this work included a systematic review of the commitments of public and private entities, ONGs, citizens, educational institutions, and territorial entities, so that, in an interinstitutional and interdisciplinary work, the productive chain can be consolidated from the local to the global level. The results reveal the importance of the active participation of civil society over the years in the formulation of the policy to publicize the conditions for the establishment and sustainable use of guadua/bamboo in the national territory, highlighting its importance and transcendence.
