| Outline of Research at the Start |
Countries are facing the challenge of promoting sustainable food production strategies. Critical challenges are educating and urging their farmer community to manage natural capital. Therefore, integrating a novel natural capital approach into farm decisions makes farmers more responsible.

| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
N. S. Cooray undertook questionnaire surveys and focused group meetings in five districts in July and August 2013. Received 172 successful questionnaires. Cooray presented a paper on “Does good governance moderate agricultural land use patterns and greenhouse gas emissions?” at the 20th World Congress of IEA at the Universidad EAFIT-Campus. held from 11 to 15 December 2023. We organized an International Conference on " Environment, Society and Governance (ESG) Initiatives" at International University of Japan on June 18, 2023. Cooray supervised graduate-level some students on project-related research, and they made several presentations at the conference. The conference proceedings were published as “Book of Abstracts 2023” with ISSN number 978-624-95320-1-4.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
In 2022 there were some delays due COVID, however we could do the work smoothly in 2023. We have already identified field experts to write chapters for our proposed edited column. Cooray is communicating with Springer Publishers in Tokyo get book contract. We plan to publish this edited column the first quarter of 2025.

| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
To disseminate the research outcome and to explore future research, we will organize an International Conference on "Harnessing Technology and Governance for Natural Capital Management." N. S. Cooray, the principal investigator, and Professor Saliya De Silva (co-investigator) will serve as co-chairs of this conference. Cooray will deliver the keynote speech at the 25th Conference on Accounting and Finance in Emerging Economies and share the project's outcome. This international annual conference is organized by the British Accounting and Finance Association and the University of Economics in Katowice, Poland, from 1 to 2 July 2024. We are working on an edited volume to be published by an internationally reputed publisher to disseminate our research output.
