Our Projects

The project is meant to support smallholder farmers as a means of securing livelihoods for communities now & into the future by laying the foundations for (re) building a more secure and more sustainable food system in Ukraine and neighbouring countries that are having to host the massive influx of refugees.

The Ukraine Food Security Foundation (UFSF) initiative is a response to a need and opportunity identified by the Ukrainian Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food to support innovation and organization of community-oriented producer-consumer arrangements with smallholder farmers as partners aimed at increasing food security by:

• operating food systems in conflict zones and (re) building them in post-conflict situations,

• generating livelihoods for displaced individuals and groups from war zones and integrating them into host communities in ways that benefit all those affected

• regenerating and bringing back into farming areas devastated by the war (incl. urban farming) and new areas subdivided out of large farm holdings

• designing & implementing food security policies, regulations and programmes to accelerate Ukraine’s EU accession.
