#Ukraine is the world's breadbasket, but much of its land is now mined. A joint effort by @WFP & @FAO is enabling small farmers to safely resume their work. Through mine clearance and support for food exports, we can help restore Ukraine's agricultural sector.⬇️

#Ukraine is the world's breadbasket, but much of its land is mined. A joint WFP and @FAO project helps farmers like Tetiana restart agricultural work safely on their land - supporting their livelihoods and contributing to the recovery of Ukraine's food production.

Without @WFP_UNHAS in places where other options don't exist, much of the world's humanitarian responses would likely shut down. ✈️ The UN Humanitarian Air Service remains a lifeline for fragile communities.
