We are currently experiencing the greatest global food security crisis of our time, triggered by Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.

The European Union is mobilising support, at the European and global level, to address it.

#FoodSecurity

Europe is showing solidarity with vulnerable populations around the globe, providing support to countries that are heavily dependent on food imports.

#FoodSecurity

We are stepping up our own production to ease pressure on food markets – so EU farmers will contribute to global food security.

And we are working with partner countries to increase their own food production and become more resilient.

Ukrainian ships full of wheat and sunflower seeds are blocked by Russia in the Black Sea.

The world needs Ukraine’s grain – and Ukrainian farmers need revenues.

We are opening solidarity lanes, to enable Ukraine to export its grain.

#FoodSecurity

We are working with global partners so that available food stocks and additional products can reach vulnerable countries at affordable prices.
