Given that \&$\#$39;agroforestry\&$\#$39; and village or social forestry are now commonly considered to be valuable components within integrated development efforts, it would seem worth investigating in more detail what sort of indigenous agroforestry is going on already in Hambantota district before launching into new schemes.
