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.

    This document provides an up-to-date summary of the humanitarian situation in Ukraine and the response of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) on the ground. In 2022, to respond to gaps in grain storage capacity, following the outbreak of the war, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) provided temporary storage solutions, covering approximately 6 million tonnes, or 30 percent of the country’s deficit, by distributing around 30 000 grain sleeves and 105 sets of supporting equipment. FAO has also supported approximately 31 000 rural households with vegetable seeds and seed potatoes, in addition to the delivery of cash-assistance to more than 2 000 rural households in the oblasts most affected by the war. Approximately 5 400 tonnes of winter wheat seeds were distributed to 1 508 small-scale farmers and 6 619 rural households in 2022. Through its 2023 Response Programme for Ukraine, FAO requires a total of USD 205 million to assist rural households and small-scale farmers residing in front-line oblasts by distributing generators, seeds, and other agricultural production inputs to ensure that these communities can rely on their own production. As of 20 April 2023, FAO has mobilized USD 30.5 million, leaving a gap of USD 174.5 million, which must be filled urgently to support vulnerable households in rural areas and farmers during the spring planting season.

As of 4 December 2023, FAO has mobilized USD 45.3 million, leaving a gap of USD 159.7 million. Since the escalation of the war in February 2022, FAO has supported over 185 000 rural families with vegetable seeds, animal feed, poultry, vouchers and cash and 10 000 farmers with temporary grain storage equipment, cereal seeds and generators. Under its Emergency Response Programme (ERP) for 2024, FAO requires USD 151 million to address and reduce the humanitarian needs of 315 800 vulnerable rural families (821 080 people) in ten frontline oblasts. FAO’s Programme for 2024 focuses on securing spring and winter crop harvests, maintaining healthy and productive livestock, augmenting food and income sources and covering basic needs while restoring production.
