Ukraine: Rebuilding livelihoods in Sumska oblast through beekeeping and aquaculture
January 19, 2026

Despite ongoing conflict, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), with support from the Ukraine Community Recovery Fund (UCRF), is bolstering rural livelihoods in Sumska oblast. Their program combines training with direct financial aid, empowering families in aquaculture, beekeeping, and dairy farming to sustain production and strengthen their income.

Farmers like Valentyna, a dedicated beekeeper, and Viacheslav, an aquaculture expert, have benefited. This assistance has enabled them to invest in essential equipment and inputs, stabilizing their operations, increasing income, and fostering future planning amidst wartime challenges.
