Responsible Land Use

More than 80% of Sri Lankan land belongs to households and farmers, leaving the rest for breathing spaces. Ideally, it should be the other way around, but we can't change this as these lands are already occupied. Evacuating them would cause social upheaval. Instead, we can all sacrifice a little space from each household's land. Accumulating every bit of space can create a large forest. It's as simple as that.

How we can do it ?

Planting trees around fences at the domestic level is a brilliant way to create a man-made green belt. It will help to stablish small scale amenity as well as day-to-day energy needs, such as biomass. By incorporating other crops like turmeric, ginger, pepper, and chili, as well as fruit-bearing trees like jackfruit and coconut, we can create a holistic approach to sustainable agriculture and self-sufficiency. This initiative will not only provide biomass for energy generation but also contribute to food security and minimize the need for commercial deforestation.

Final aim ?

Mycorrhizal network

Most people are unaware of the "mycorrhizal network" and its benefits. The time has come to re-engage with our old relationship with nature. My first approach is to dig a tunnel using the Green Belt concept. This concept will reconnect us with our old friends through the network of the Green Belt. if the project is successful we able to see 100% restrain mycorrhizal network around each and every house in Sri Lanka.
