Ukraine鈥檚 farms are under attack. Russian forces are burning or stealing grain and vegetables. What can the outside world do? One Polish village has some answers.
Ukraine鈥檚 farms are under attack. Russian forces are burning or stealing grain and vegetables. The main growing regions in the south are under occupation, cutting off the country from its usual supplies of fresh food. What can the outside world do?
Monica Whitlock reports from the village of Bro偶ec in western Poland where farmers have rallied round to send seeds to smallholdings and allotments in Ukraine - 鈥榁ictory Gardens鈥� in President Zelensky鈥檚 words. Each garden feeds far more than one family, as Ukrainian villagers take in internally displaced people from the cities. But as the season for harvest approaches, far more worrying problems face Ukraine鈥檚 beleaguered farmers.
