There has been a great desire within the Worshipful Company of Farmers Livery Company to help support the Ukrainian farmers.
The project below has been bought to my attention. Frendt are a team of 70 specialists who work exclusively in the field of IT solutions for agriculture. Over the past 8 years, they have worked with over 7,000 farms in Ukraine.
Many have already donated generously to Ukraine and I would not want to presume you are able to do more. However, any support to raising the funds for this urgent and worthwhile project would be much appreciated.
‘Safe Fields for Ukraine’
Russia has contaminated agricultural land with mines in six of the main agricultural regions of Ukraine, devastating the recovery process…
40% of the World Food Program’s wheat supplies come from Ukraine…
In 2021, Ukraine exported $27bn agricultural products, $7.6bn to Europe
This will contribute to further global refugee crises and cost of living increases for us all in addition to the loss of life and livelihood among Ukrainian farmers.
In response, a Ukrainian agricultural firm FRENDT in partnership with a Ukrainian University have designed an Unmanned Anti Mine Equipment Prototype using drones and unmanned vehicles based on farmers’ own small tractors.
In a tie up between a group farmers in Ukraine and a British finance professional the aim of this crowdfunding round is to help fund the operationalisation of the prototype to help speed up the de-mining of millions of acres and bring back online millions of acres of agricultural land.
Please also pass share with any friends, firms, organisations who may be interested in supporting this vital and urgent initiative.
For full details and please give any support you may feel able.
