Impact assessment of agricultural land 2021–2023
2025Also available in:
No results found.The war in Ukraine has disrupted agriculture and food security in Kharkiv Oblast. Since February 2022, military operations have caused extensive soil disturbance, contamination, and alterations to the landscape. A geospatial impact assessment was carried out using very high-resolution satellite imagery and field observations to evaluate the effects on agricultural land. The assessment covered 11 349 square kilometres – 37 percent of the region – excluding a 40-kilometre buffer from the frontline. A total of 420 615 craters were mapped, with an average density of 66 craters per square kilometre. The highest densities were observed in the Oskilska, Iziumska and Chkalovska communities. An estimated 4 213 hectares of cultivated land were directly affected by physical soil disturbances, while 28 268 hectares were potentially contaminated by munitions. The volume of displaced soil was calculated at 376 310 cubic metres. The findings underscore the urgent need for targeted demining, soil restoration, and support for smallholder farmers. They also demonstrate the value of using satellite imagery combined with ground data to identify priority areas for recovery. Focused efforts in the most heavily impacted zones are essential to restore agricultural productivity and strengthen food security. -

Also available in:
No results found.Guatemala’s humanitarian crisis is mainly driven by climate-induced disruptions to agricultural production and increased human mobility. In the country’s Dry Corridor, families are facing increasing challenges due to the effects of the El Niño phenomenon. The recurring loss of staple crops like maize and beans threatens their livelihoods and food security. Households spend up to 75 percent of their income on food. Providing vulnerable communities with climate-smart agricultural support enables them to quickly produce food while strengthening their resilience against future shocks.
