Synopsis (short abstract) The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations conducted an assessment of household food security and agricultural livelihoods in Ukraine. The overall objective of the assessment was to provide an overview of the food security and livelihoods situation in government controlled areas of Ukraine to inform evidence-based decision making. A total of 4 764 households were successfully interviewed by phone across all government controlled areas of Ukraine in December 2023. The findings highlight the link between household-level agricultural activity, shocks and food security. Small-scale agriculture emerged as a key factor in supporting household food security, however small producers in Ukraine continue to face many challenges related to the ongoing war. Protecting and supporting agricultural livelihoods is essential, as small-scale agricultural activities in Ukraine – particularly for subsistence – can be a pathway to better food security and strengthened resilience at household level.

    Based on earlier work by FAO in collaboration with other organizations and institutions, the workshop on “Optimizing food and nutrition security and livelihood benefits of small pelagic species production in sub-Saharan Africa” aimed to develop a better understanding of supply chains for small pelagic species in sub-Saharan/West Africa. In doing so, it focused on how related fishery resources could best contribute to food and nutrition security, and to the livelihoods of small-scale and fisheries-dependent communities. The workshop was an opportunity to review good practices and lessons learned concerning the alignment between the fish-based products industry and food and nutrition security considerations. It also identified policy considerations, future research and other actions to support effective management of small pelagic resources. The workshop brought together 50 representatives from local fishing communities, governments, private sector actors, research institutions, and relevant professional and interest organizations. A number of conclusions were drawn and recommendations made on how to safeguard the contribution of small pelagics to food and nutrition while having a responsible fishmeal and fish oil industry in the West African region.

    The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has conducted a nation-wide rural household survey in Ukraine, targeting 5,230 rural households across the country, with the objectives of: i) collecting necessary evidence on the impact of the war on rural livelihoods to inform programming decisions and support advocacy efforts; and ii) complementing the data from consolidated and ongoing analyses, including sectoral damage and loss assessments. The analysis is part of a series of complementary assessments that aim at providing a comprehensive understanding of the impact of the war on Ukraine’s agriculture sector and identifying possible programming and policy responses.
