Description
The global crisis and the interdependence between countries in Europe in ensuring food security are intensifying, taking into account the transformations in the socio-economic and ecological system. Climate change and the impact of war have significantly affected food security. The standard of living has decreased and the environment has deteriorated due to ongoing military aggression.
The war significantly affected the potential for agricultural development, and production in 2025 decreased by 6.8% compared to 2024. Despite external financial support for the Ukrainian economy the standard of living of the population decreased significantly during 2022-2025.
The results of surveys conducted by the authors together with the Lviv Agrarian Chamber in March-April 2026 indicate that the main obstacles to the activities of farms in the Lviv Region, are: climate change, which causes sharp fluctuations in the yield of major agricultural crops; limited possibilities for state budget support for agricultural producers; a sharp increase in the cost of means of production in 2023-2025; negative ecological situation as a result of war damages; disputes with some EU countries in agricultural trade; unstable tax policy.
The research examined negative polycrisis impact on Ukraine’s food security that probably will have a negative impact on population dietary preferences.
