[QUOTE="Goweresque, post: 7736952, member: 818"] Interesting stuff going on in Sri Lanka right now, back in April the government unilaterally declared that all farming was to become organic, and outlawed the importation of agro-chemicals and artificial fertilisers. This has resulted in rampant food price inflation as crop yields are set to halve and created an economic crisis, with falling foreign exchange reserves and a falling currency value which is also raising prices of all imported goods. The government has now been forced to declare a state of public emergency and has started to take control of all food supplies. A lesson for all those organic zealots who tell us it could feed the world........
