Ukraine’s Mines Threaten Global Food Supply, New Study Warns

A major new study launched in Kyiv is examining how Ukraine’s demining efforts affect the world far beyond its borders. The research, one of the largest of its kind, aims to measure the global impact of landmines and unexploded ordnance left by the war. Ukraine is one of the world’s top grain exporters, but millions of acres of farmland are now too dangerous to farm. The study seeks to answer how clearing these mines could stabilize food prices and prevent hunger in other countries. Experts say the findings could help guide international funding and policy decisions.
