Bamboo based agroforestry frameworks are one of the significant part to improve financial status, yearly pay of partners as well as climate cordial. In Ethiopia, bamboos are established on the waterway bank and territory region to safeguard the streams from various defilement and soil protection. Bamboos reaping can remunerate the financial misfortunes of agrarian yield because of water shortage. Bamboos are great soil fastener because of presence of stringy root foundation and subsequently assume a significant part in soil and water protection. It has the potential for compelling carbon sequestration, subsequently assisting in countering the emanation of ozone harming substances, a worldwide temperature alteration and environment with changing. It additionally brings down the power of light and shields from destructive UV radiations. Planting of bamboo lines in east-west bearing diminishes conceal impact, in this way decline the dirt and air temperature and sun oriented radiation, which straightforwardly impact the dirt water vanishing and moistness. Leaves of bamboo were used as fodder, for animals. So bamboo based agroforestry plantations can be grown extensively in river bank and terrain areas of Ethiopia to boost the socio-economic conditions of farmers and ecological sustainability. Here, we reviewed the potential socioeconomic and environmental benefits of bamboo agroforestry and accentuate implications on sustainable rural development in Ethiopia.
