SL agricultural think-tank to safeguard industry
A group of agricultural experts has established a pressure group to openly challenge adverse policy decisions and help farmers get back onto the fields to re-establish food security in Sri Lanka.
Marking one year since the Cabinet decision to ban chemical fertilizer into Sri Lanka by the government, the group of academics forming the Academics' Movement to Safeguard Agriculture in Sri Lanka (AMSA) from the Universities of Peradeniya and Sri Jayawardenapura, at a news conference on Wednesday, spotlighted the grave consequences of the bad decisions taken to shift to complete organic-based farming.
This pressure group and think-tank comprises 16 experts in agriculture and technology led by Snr. Prof. Buddhi Marambe and others like Snr. Prof. Anura Kumara, Snr. Prof.T. Sivanandan, Snr. Prof. Janendra Costa, Snr. Prof. Saman Dharmakeerti and Dr. Warshi Dandeniya among others. (SD)
