Sri Lanka is heading for difficult times socioeconomically\u00a0 and will be worse off when we must pay back our debts\u00a0 from 2028 onwards.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

The sooner we cultivate our neglected land for food, the\u00a0 sooner we recover from food shortages. Let’s start today.\u00a0 This article will motivate you.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Growing your food is profoundly satisfying in a world\u00a0 where supermarket shelves are laden with produce from\u00a0 distant lands. Sri Lanka, with its lush landscapes and fertile\u00a0 soil, has the potential to transform small spaces\u2014 backyards, balconies, and even windowsills\u2014into thriving\u00a0 mini-farms. This article explores the \u201cGrow More\u201d\u00a0 campaign, which urges Sri Lankans to embrace home\u00a0 gardening and reconnect with the earth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The need for self-reliance is imminent due to rising food\u00a0 prices, supply chain disruptions, and environmental\u00a0 concerns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Home gardening can reduce dependence on imported\u00a0 veggies and boost local resilience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sri Lanka spent $326.5 million on vegetable imports from January\u00a0 to November 2023, an increase from the $297.2 million recorded\u00a0 for the same period in 2022.\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

According to a press release by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka\u00a0 (CBSL) on 29 December 2023, the import expenditure on\u00a0 vegetables from January to November 2023 amounted to $326.5\u00a0 million, with the expense for November recorded as $29.3 million.\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

From January to November 2022, $ 297.2 million was spent on the\u00a0 import of vegetables.\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis was spent on items such as potatoes, garlic, onions, and fruits\u00a0 such as grapes, apples, and oranges,\u201d Agriculture Minister\u00a0 Mahinda Amaraweera said, speaking to The Sunday Morning.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Families must spend their spare time, especially the\u00a0 weekends, to turn barren patches of land into productive\u00a0 gardens.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, even if you possess a small area of land, no\u00a0 matter how small, envisioning potential green havens is\u00a0 essential.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the benefits of growing, harvesting, and tasting\u00a0 your veggies? From crisp lettuce to juicy tomatoes,\u00a0 homegrown produce is a delight.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Growing your food means fewer pesticides and more\u00a0 nutrients. It\u2019s a win-win for your health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Therapeutic: Gardening is therapeutic\u2014it reduces stress,\u00a0 connects us with nature, and provides a sense of\u00a0 accomplishment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cost-Effective: Imagine saving money on grocery bills by\u00a0 plucking herbs and greens from your backyard.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Even apartment dwellers can grow herbs in pots or create\u00a0 vertical gardens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Backyards can accommodate raised beds, fruit trees,\u00a0 and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This brief article encourages readers to join the \u201cGrow\u00a0 More\u201d movement. Every seed planted contributes to a\u00a0 greener, healthier Sri Lanka.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Colombo, May 21 (Daily Mirror)- New laws are being introduced to facilitate the use\u00a0 of uncultivated land for agricultural purposes as land is vital for social\u00a0 empowerment, State Minister for Social Empowerment Anupa Pasqual said today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“We have recognised numerous uncultivated lands across the country. These lands\u00a0 should be utilised for agricultural purposes. The land is pivotal in social\u00a0 empowerment. Steps are underway to enact new legislation facilitating the\u00a0 utilisation of uncultivated but arable land.<\/span><\/p>\n
