Україна: відновлення засобів до існування в Сумській о
January 14, 2026

Despite the ongoing war, life continues in Ukraine. The FAO, supported by the Ukraine Community Recovery Fund (UCRF), has launched a program in Sumy Oblast. This initiative provides rural families with training and direct financial aid to bolster aquaculture, beekeeping, and dairy sectors, helping them adapt, sustain production, and strengthen livelihoods.

Farmers like Valentyna, a beekeeper, and Vyacheslav, an aquaculture specialist, have significantly benefited. This support enables them to invest, stabilize production, increase income, and plan for a resilient future. Subscribe: YouTube.
