How do pesticides impact water quality, environmental health, ecosystem functions, and global food security? Let’s zero in on Sri Lanka. In partnership with the University of Peradeniya, the University of Bern, the International Rice Research Institute, and the Swiss Agency for Development Cooperation initiated new research on understanding environmental footprints, targeting the Deduru Oya basin, the fourth largest river basin in the country. This is among the most recent research completed under the Closing Rice Yield Gaps in Asia with Reduced Environmental Footprint (CORIGAP).
