    Ukraine: Impact of the war on agricultural enterprises
    Findings of a nationwide survey, October–November 2024
    2025
    Also 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.

    Ukraine: Impact of the war on commercial crop producers
    Findings of a nationwide survey, May–June 2023
    2025
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    In May–June 2023, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Ukraine launched a survey on the impact of the war on commercial crop producers. This analysis is part of a series of complementary assessments aimed at providing a comprehensive understanding of the war’s impact on various producers and actors within Ukraine’s agriculture sector, including crop and livestock production as well as agrifood value chains. The data gathered will help identify the most pressing needs requiring immediate intervention to support commercial crop enterprises in absorbing and recovering from shocks, increasing their resilience and informing programming decisions and advocacy efforts.

    Ukraine: Strategic priorities for 2023
    Restoring food systems and protecting food security (December 2022)
    2022
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    The war in Ukraine is significantly impacting food security at the national and global levels. Without urgent support to the Ukrainian agrifood sector, humanitarian needs will continue to rise, further mass displacements can be expected, and the stability of global food value chains will remain under threat. In this context, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations is uniquely positioned in Ukraine to implement a multidimensional and innovative strategy to sustain and restore agrifood systems at scale. Capitalizing on its technical expertise and in-country experience, in 2023, the strategic approach of the Organization will focus on restoring food security and self-sufficiency in front-line communities (Pillar 1); restoring critical agricultural production and value chains (Pillar 2); and enhancing coordination and technical support to the functioning of critical food system services (Pillar 3).

    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
    Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
    2021
    In 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.

    FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022
    The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
