If this ag breakdown had been Sri Lanka's only problem, the economy might have muddled through. Now critics are citing Sri Lanka as proof that organic agriculture is a bad idea. (https://www.wsj.com/…)I'm not in love with organic farming but I can't see how what happened in Sri Lanka constitutes a fair test. Yet moving the entire country to organic ag seems like a needlessly absolutist policy, whether immediately or over 10 years. The best way to resolve them is to put both organic farming and conventional farming to the test.
