Maintaining animal-source food production in conflict zones: lessons from Ukraine

The findings of this study highlight the importance of preparatory planning, resource reserves, skilled personnel, and support networks. The experiences of Ukrainian farmers and veterinarians provide important insights into how agricultural systems can become more adaptive and responsive during future crises, emphasizing the need for flexibility, preparedness, and community collaboration. However, further research encompassing a wider geographic scope and a broader range of stakeholders is needed to validate these findings.
