In order to produce high-nutrient, toxic-free food, we need to rebuild the soil. This means that we
The death of soil at the hands of years of conventional agriculture is
manifesting itself as deadly diseases in our bodies. The rising levels
of toxic farm chemicals result in the depletion of nutrient levels in
our food, which in turn can lead to illnesses like cancer, diabetes, and
obesity.
With changing weather patterns, finding methods for conserving the
soil as well as saving water during dry spells and channelling it
properly during downpours have become essential practices.
Generally, coconut lands in Sri Lanka are maintained as monocultures.
Since the very inception of Serendipol, our focus has been on
diversifying coconut farms with seasonal, semi-perennial, and other
intercrops with a view to maximizing land use efficiency,
encouraging biodiversity, and improving biomass generation.

Serendipol’s four-year comprehensive
agroforestry project
We continuously work with farmers on training and dissemination of effective techniques for taking better care of the earth that we
all depend upon. In addition to our daily practices aimed at regenerating the soil, we are initiating a four-year comprehensive
Agroforestry project, starting with establishing eight model farms that will be part of a pilot project, which will later be rolled out at
scale based on findings from the pilot.
