Depletion of Ukraine’s Soils Threatens Long-Term Global Food Security
Researchers from the UK, Ukraine, and the Netherlands warn that Ukraine's soils are losing vital crop nutrients due to the war.
The war has disrupted access to fertilisers and exacerbated soil degradation and erosion, leading to more nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium being removed from soils than added back.
The country’s long-term ability to remain the ‘breadbasket of Europe’ is jeopardised.
This nutrient depletion could have a long-term impact on Ukrainian crop production, affecting global food security.
