How Ukrainian farmers are restoring soil even in the most difficult times Drought, war, uncertainty. Three things that every Ukrainian farmer lives with today. But there is another word that we are talking about more and more often – recovery. We used to fight everything: the weather, weeds, the soil.

Soil degradation has reached global proportions and threatens the world’s food security. According to the UN, up to 40% of the world’s land is degraded.
