Many farms in Moldova are facing increasing soil degradation, climate change and rising input costs. To counter these threats, Bio-Alianta has been investing in new agricultural technologies and farming practices. These have allowed the North Moldovan producer of cereal and oilseed crops to gradually strengthen its market position. But technology alone cannot solve these issues. Participating in the GreenFields Academy, Bio-Alianta has acquired practical knowledge on regenerative agriculture, including crop rotation, reduced tillage and improved soil management. These insights are helping the farm test new approaches on selected plots, gradually improving soil health and increasing long-term resilience. Participation in the program also created opportunities for knowledge exchange with other farmers, supporting continuous learning and adaptation.

A reliable, efficient and secure agriculture sector is essential, particularly during wartime. But in this large and diverse country, the agriculture sector is facing significant challenges: access to international market has been disrupted by port blockades, irrigated land has been lost due to security risks and southern regions are experiencing the effects of climate change. EFSE’s Ukraine Sub-Fund invested €8 million – converted to Ukrainian Hryvna – with Agroprosperis Bank (AP Bank) to provide much-needed long-term support for agriculture MSME clients. This investment is about improving efficiency, productivity and profitability. More than that, it’s about ensuring the survival and future growth of a critical sector. As Ukraine agriculture specialist Vitaliy Ivanchenko explains, “For many farmers, the choice was simple: adapt or disappear."
