Rehabilitation of Degraded Agricultural Lands (RDAL) in Kandy, Badulla and NuwaraEliya in Central Highlands is a project implemented by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in collaboration with Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources Management Centre (NRMC) of the Department of Agriculture.

The market-based GAP approach in sustainable agriculture is expanding with the success of the model. RDALP recently trained 13 Agriculture Instructors of the Department of Agriculture (DoA) on conducting Farmer Field Schools (FFS) to expand GAP program for new farmer groups.
