Some plots of land after the end of the war may not be suitable for agriculture for more than 100 years – the expert

Such a conclusion can be drawn based on the experience of other countries on whose territory hostilities took place – in particular, France. Lorina Fedorova, an expert on sustainable agriculture, NGO “Ekodiya”(Ecoaction), told about this during a briefing at the  Media Center Ukraine – Odesa.

In particular, this is the site of the Battle of Verden, after which the countryside was completely destroyed,” the expert noted.
