Sierra Leone aims to overhaul its agriculture sector

Two thirds of Sierra Leone's population make their living from farming, mostly on a small scale subsistence basis. It's a tough prospect, and many people are travelling from the countryside to try and get jobs in the cities, where opportunities are also scarce. So a key part of developing the country's economy will be to build its agriculture sector. Marie Keyworth went to the city of Bo to find out how that might be done.
