What the paper covers

Discusses how fuller use of coconut by-products could support food security and value creation in Sri Lanka. The chapter considers materials such as testa, shell, inflorescence sap and mature coconut water within the wider coconut economy.

Read it in context

This chapter concerns Sri Lankan by-product use. It is related reading, not the missing climate-and-food-security paper, and its economic context should not be assumed to describe Hawaiʻi.
