Abstract
In recent years, agriculture has been the mainstay of the Ukrainian economy. All-out invasion by the Russian Army in early 2022 rendered many territories inaccessible, disrupted trade – and life itself – and prompted a search for solutions and new opportunities. We propose some ways of solving current problems by innovation that could increase the efficiency of the agricultural sector, even during a war. Among these, paradoxically, are both intensification of agriculture and land sparing. But none of these will completely offset the impact of war: we need to use other (not only innovative) methods of enterprise protection.
