Farmerhood Seeks Help for Ukrainian Farmers
As a sponsor of Tech Hub LIVE, EarthDaily Agro had the opportunity to introduce attendees to a global charity working to provide humanitarian relief to Ukrainian farmers.
Mullin facilitated meetings at Tech Hub LIVE with FARMERHOOD project manager Kateryna Konashchuk, who says these smaller farmers are enduring a second season now of uncertainty and struggle. “They have a lack of different resources and they would like to survive,” said Konashchuk. “They would like to stay on their land with their families because they do not know any other existence other than farming.”
Konashchuk says her husband, who is a civil engineer, is serving in the Ukrainian artillery despite having no experience in the military. “There is no other way to stand for your land and stand for your family,” she said.
