Sri Lanka has told its public sector workers to take an extra day off each week to grow food in their back yards. A move that is expected to ‘domino’ across the planet over the coming months in a bid to forestall an inevitable global famine.

An unprecedented economic downturn, supply chain woes and global crop failures have left staple foods in short supply in Sri Lanka. The same can be said for petrol and medicines, too, as record-high inflation continues to ravage household budgets.

The country’s public employees, which amount to 1.5 million people, will have every Friday off for the next three months with full pay. Workers will also be permitted to find work abroad and send money back to the island without it impacting their seniority or pension amid a labor crisis primarily driven by a critical shortage of foreign currency to buy imports.
