Organic Farming


Organic Farming: Sri Lankan Experience


It was a refreshing journey to Galaha and a rejuvenating experience to visit the farm of Gami Seva Sevana, an NGO in Sri Lanka's Kandy, run by Ranjith De'Silva. He not only uses bio-gas from cow dung, but also has an organic farm by preparing compost and bio-pesticides and fertilizer and also vermi wash. He trains NGOs and government officials alike in Sri Lanka on the art of organic farming.
"The soil has become tired and fatigued. The only way of rejuvenating it is with natural manure," he strongly believes.
