Original Note:
Sri Lanka implemented laws that all farmers go organic. A change strongly supported by Vandava Shiva. This led to a loss in food production ($450M in rice imports) & famine followed by economic woes. Sri Lanka is still struggling to return to normal farming & food production. https://foreignpolicy.com/2022/03/05/sri-lanka-organic-farming-crisis/ https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/5/18/a-food-crisis-looms-in-sri-lanka-as-farmers-give-up-on-planting
