There is a good introductory article on Sri Lanka on Wikipedia.org. It includes both discussions of economy and ecology, and has additional links. It mentions that lots of forest has been cleared for agriculture and that two of the major agricultural crops are tea and cinnamon. Other crops could be bananas, cassave, maize, palms, rice, sorghum, sweet potato, or taro root. I am only mentioning these because they are common tropical agricultural products that I have seen in other parts of the tropics. There is an even better historical discussion here:\nhttp://www2.sjsu.edu/faculty/watkins/srilanka.htm\n\nThe World Food Program has a short write-up.\nhttp://www.wfp.org/country_brief/indexcountry.asp?region=5&section=9&sub_section=5&country=144\nThe FAO has an interesting gender based study here:\nhttp://www.fao.org/sd/WPdirect/WPre0112.htm\nhttp://www.fao.org/documents/show_cdr.asp?url_file=/docrep/004/w2299e/w2299e00.htm\n\nThere is a blog and website devoted to Sri Lanka that has some useful information:\nhttp://servesrilanka.net/\nhttp://servesrilanka.blogspot.com/2005/04/long-term-sustenance-of-agribusiness_30.html\n\nhttp://servesrilanka.net/technology_poverty_sri_lanka.pdf\n\nAs I am sure you have discovered this is a tough topic to find direct examples. There is much indirect discussion regarding the effects, but probably little direct data exists. This is the best I can help you with.

Are you actually asking what farming techniques have changed since people were digging in the ground with stones to today's modern methods?  \n\nThis is the subject of an entire book, not something that can be answered on Yahoo Answers!\n\nYou can go to www.wikipedia.org and type in "farming", that's about as much help as I can give you without quitting my job and doing this full-time!

In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, agricultural growth in the region was slow compared to the rates achieved in the past thirty years. Agricultural development in the recent past has been characterized by an extraordinary diversity both within and between countries. Many largely traditional farming systems that were sustainable with a low density of population are becoming increasingly strained by, and vulnerable to, the pressure of rising population. Spectacular environmental damage exemplifies the consequences of this pressure as land-hungry cultivators push into the tropical forests and up the hillsides. A growing prosperity among some groups contrasts with the deepening poverty among others less fortunate.

You could do a google search for agriculture. Or do a web site of a college,university and put in agriculture. Should find help in these. Good Luck.
