A Programming Analysis of Production and Resource Use in Small-Holder Agriculture in the Dry Zone of Sri Lanka
type: CreativeWork
description: The development of small farm sector of the dry zone plays a major role in agricultural development in Sri Lanka. Past efforts towards developing these small farms have met with little success. This study investigates a farm planning approach for enhancing the economic status of small farms. Furthermore, increased production of soybean, a crop well-suited to the dry zone conditions, seems an ideal solution to the low availability and consumption of proteins among the Sri Lankan population. Yet, the planned expansion in soybean production in Sri Lanka has not progressed as expected.
