The Ukraine Food Security Foundation (UFSF) initiative is a response to a need and opportunity identified by the Ukrainian Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food to support innovation and organization of community-oriented producer-consumer arrangements with smallholder farmers as partners aimed at increasing food security by:

• operating food systems in conflict zones and (re) building them in post-conflict situations,
• generating livelihoods for displaced individuals and groups from war zones and integrating them into host communities in ways that benefit all those affected
• regenerating and bringing back into farming areas devastated by the war (incl. urban farming) and new areas subdivided out of large farm holdings
• designing & implementing food security policies, regulations and programmes to accelerate Ukraine’s EU accession.
