Depletion of Ukraine’s Soils Threatens Long-Term Global Food Security
Research reveals that nutrient depletion in Ukrainian soils may have a lasting impact on crop production, affecting global food security.
Beyond disrupted food exports, the war in Ukraine jeopardizes the country's ability to remain a major food producer due to soil degradation.
According to UK, Ukrainian, and Dutch researchers, more nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are being removed from soils than added back, largely due to reduced fertilizer access and inefficient farming practices during the war.
Military activities have also worsened existing soil erosion and degradation across Ukraine.
The war is jeopardising the country’s long-term ability to remain the ‘breadbasket of Europe’.
