A Rich
History
Sri Lanka once offered over 2,000 indigenous rice varieties to the world, treating cultivation as a sacred art. Four hundred years of European occupation shifted the focus to plantation crops — introducing genetic modification and chemical dependency to prioritise yield and profit over the traditions that once sustained our ancestors' longevity.
