Post-war Europe - Ukrainian Agriculture

Use this link to subscribe to Speakly and learn a language today: https://speakly.app.link/kraut Ukraine will join the European Union. This is now a certainty. It will take time. Ukraine will probably not join until the war is over, and there are many requirements for membership that Ukraine has to meet. But it is by now a certainty that Ukraine is a member of our European family, and many in Europe are celebrating this. But we should also take a moment to think about the challenges ahead of us. The main challenge will be agriculture. Ukraine is home to the largest stretch of fertile soil in Europe. Ukrainian farmers are able to outproduce and outcompete every other European farmer. And we, must prepare for this and discuss it. ►You can support my channel on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/Kraut_and_Tea ►You can also support me on PayPal here: https://www.paypal.me/KrautandTea ►You can support me on ko-fi here: https://ko-fi.com/kraut ►You can follow my mastodon here: https://mstodon.eu/@Kraut ►You can join my community, give feedback and talk to me here: http://derserver.xyz/ ►You can discuss this video on my subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/kraut/ ►You can also follow me on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/el_kraut/ ►You can follow my twitter here: https://twitter.com/notreallykraut You might be interested in this video too: Intro (0:00) Chapter (1:40) Thank you for watching, and don't forget to subscribe to watch more.

Huh I was not expecting this. What a pleasant suprise

Great video! :) funny that I - as (by my own view) as right wing voter - am all for open it up, so the prices go down and no subsidies on national level (that does no good now). Free market, same chances/support for small evenly and competition must be a basis of eu now and in future, it's needed 'like a salt' ;)

One omitted topic was the quality of food the consumers end up with in the aftermath. Consumers are the largest party in the conflict and their wellbeing (i.e. quality of food) is usually not considered. In the profit-driven world farming industry seems to gravitate towards monoculture and global export. Sure, it may lower the price of food, but I would argue that we don't need cheap food. We don't need the shelves flooded with corn cans, wheat and low quality sunflower oil. They might not require fertilizers but farmers still need to use pesticides. To be blunt, the video is great, but it hits all the wrong strings... albeit all that are now in news. Politicians would love nothing more but the problem of high prices to solve itself so they can point to some positive statistics. They won't be around when EU will start having obesity problem like US... though it might be a stretch to seek causation between cheap food and health dysfunctions. There might be more aspects like education, ads, culture...
