A group of 12 students from University of California at Davis spent one month in Sri Lanka studying tropical agricultural systems with faculty and students from University of Peradeniya. They studied rice farming in the dry zone, tea cultivation in the hill country and mixed cropping and animal farming in Peradeniya.
I was very much involved in initiating the collaboration between the two universities and was very happy with this successful outcome.
My daughters Samita and Menesha were visiting us during that time so we joined the students and Dr. Paul Marcotte for dinner in a Restaurant in Kandy.
