Resumen
Descripción
Sustainable agricultural mechanization is essential for Sierra Leone's structural transformation and job creation, as well as being a key component of achieving zero hunger. Despite efforts to date, most agricultural activities in the country, including land preparation, harvesting and threshing, are still carried out manually. To ensure sustainable national food security, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Food Security (MAFFS) is promoting the effective and efficient use of agricultural machinery such as tractors, power tillers, combined harvesters, etc. The adoption of a sound mechanization policy in Sierra Leone would contribute to sustainable agriculture, improved food and nutrition security and increased resilience to climate change and other shocks.
