The objective of the project is to reduce land degradation in 100 acres of agricultural lands in Muththattupola, Galpaya and Babaragala areas in the Weligapola DS Division. The grantee organization will assist the community in creating rainwater ( ... )
ting tanks and earthen water retention tanks. Gliricidia live fences, which slows down land degradation, will be planted. They also intend to promote indigenous seed conservation, identifying and storying 10 seed types at Weligapola. Additionally, the organization will focused on manufacturing liquid fertilizer and starting a plant nursery.
