BookletEmergency responseUkraine: Emergency Response Plan, January–December 2024
Protecting agricultural livelihoods of rural populations in war-affected areas
2024Also available in:
No results found.The war in Ukraine continues to compound the vulnerabilities of rural communities, especially those living near the frontline. Rural households have lost their productive capacities due to displacement, damaged land, infrastructure and equipment, and lack of access to key production inputs. Consequently, rural communities are increasingly becoming food aid beneficiaries and nearly one‑third of planned food aid beneficiaries under the 2024 Humanitarian Response Plan are rural people who traditionally produce their own food. In this context, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has developed the 2024 Emergency Response Plan (ERP). Through the 2024 ERP, FAO aims to mobilize USD 150 million to provide emergency livelihoods assistance to 315 800 households (821 080 people). The ERP focuses on the delivery of time-critical support to rural communities in war-affected areas to enable them to restore their production, improve their food security and avoid reliance on food aid. This document provides an overview of the context, planned response, expected outcomes, and implementation arrangements of the 2024 ERP. -

In support of FAO’s emergency response, the Government of Belgium, through the FAO Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities, contributed USD 900 000 to support over 700 rural famillies in Chernihivska, Dnipropetrovska, Kharkivska and Sumska oblasts. FAO provided beneficiary households with soybean seeds to contribute to protecting their livelihoods and enable them to maintain food production. This document provides a brief description of the context of the intervention and highlights the importance of the contribution in enhancing the resilience of the affected communities. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureUkraine: Emergency assistance for spring crop production in southern Ukraine 2025
Also available in:
No results found.The ongoing war in Ukraine continues to erode rural resilience and disrupt agricultural livelihoods and supply chains, particularly in frontline oblasts such as Khersonska and Odeska. Traditionally self-reliant agricultural regions are facing reduced local production, fluctuating food prices, and an increasing reliance on external aid. In response, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is deploying its technical capacities and scaling up its emergency response to support the Government of Ukraine in restoring and protecting rural livelihoods. With a contribution of USD 900 000 from the Government of Germany through the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture, FAO is implementing project OSRO/UKR/038/GER, entitled “Emergency assistance for spring crop production in southern Ukraine.” This document summarizes the project’s objectives and expected outputs.

Book (stand-alone)Technical reportUkraine: Impact of the war on agricultural enterprises
Findings of a nationwide survey, October–November 2024
2025Also available in:
No results found.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations conducted a nationwide survey of 2 612 agricultural enterprises across 23 oblasts of Ukraine between October and November 2024. The survey covered crop and livestock producers of all sizes, excluding areas that were inaccessible at the time of data collection. The survey aimed to assess the impact of the war on agricultural enterprises’ operations, production trends and storage capacity; quantify damage and losses to assets and land; and evaluate disruptions to agrifood value chains and support systems. Findings confirm widespread challenges, including labour shortages, rising input costs, land contamination and power outages, all of which have undermined productivity and strained financial viability. This analysis is part of a broader effort to inform policy, programming and recovery interventions aimed at strengthening the resilience of Ukraine’s agriculture sector. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms.
