Denmark's message carried out a panel discussion on Thursday to underline the effects of the invasion of Russia in Ukraine on food production and the needs of Ukrainian agriculture on the country's food production and domestic food production.

“The war in Ukraine remains a top foreign policy priority for Denmark,” said the Danish ambassador of the United States Jesper Møller Sørensen in the opening speech.

Denmark and Ukraine have a long history of agricultural exchange and Denmark undertakes to support the renovation of the Ukrainian agriculture, he added.



Princess Marie von Denmark presented Ukraine ambassadors in the United States Oksana Markarova, who said: “Ukraine defends its homeland, but it is really happy to build food.”

Markarova noticed that Ukraine, a great agricultural exporter, was “one of the most important actors in nutritional security”.



Caitlin Welsh, director of the Global Food and Water Security at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said when she opened a panel discussion that the war in Ukraine “is the greatest disturbance for agriculture in a century”.

The US Agriculture Ministry has declared that Ukraine will export less next year than in a decade, added Welsh.

Walsh found that Ukraine is one of the largest producers of wheat and other plants and said: “Investing in Ukrainian agriculture. Investments in Ukraine are an important way to counter Russia at a global level.”

The price for the reconstruction of Ukrainian agriculture is 55 billion US dollars, said Welsh.

The Ukrainian country and Russia now controlled by Russia wants to be 22% of the Ukrainian agricultural basis as part of a peace agreement, said Welsh.

Kathryn Schein Schein Prudhomme, the Office for the Office of the Office for the World Food Program in Washington in the United Nations, said WFP focuses on the immediate need to feed 1.5 million people and long -term nutritional needs.

Linda Roth, the Chief Communications Officer in the World Central Kitchen, said that the group founded by chef José Andrés served 282,000 hot meals in Ukraine, but it also distributed 10,000 chickens and 50,000 seed packages so that the Ukrainians can produce their own meal.

“Eating is dignity and hope” and bears a message “you are not alone,” said Roth.

Esben Lunde Larsen, a specialist in health and agricultural sciences in the Pandemic Fund of the World Bank, said the bank supported Ukraine directly and supported its application for membership in the European Union.

Møller Sørensen found that 5,000 Ukrainians are now working in Danish agriculture, and Larsen, a former advisor to the Danish Parliament, said that 97% of the Ukrainian refugees in Denmark were able to enter the labor market.
