Emergency Vector Control after Natural Disaster

摘要

Although agriculture is Sierra Leone's key industry, agricultural development is constrained by a number of pervasive social and economic factors. This report assesses the agricultural sector and recommends measures to overcome these constraints. The authors first review the physical and social environments of farming in Sierra Leone; data are provided on climate, soil, vegetation, fauna, demographics, land tenure and labor practices, nutrition and health, and rural credit. Agriculture's economic role is then examined and relevant government agricultural institutions are discussed. The rice, cash crop, forestry, fishery, and livestock sub-sectors are described.
