It will take many billions of euros to restore some of the most fertile soils in the world after the war in Ukraine.
A recent study of the Ukrainian region of Kharkiv revealed that wheat production dropped by more than half after the Russian invasion in 2022. Over 160,000ha of land in Kharkiv have been damaged by the war. The region is marred by 420,000 bomb craters.
