project, which is implemented by the All-Ukrainian Association of Communities with the support of the USAID AGRO Program.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The innovation consists in the introduction of a sorbent \u2014 an organic hydrogel product that allows you to retain moisture in the soil, and after use breaks down into nutrients for feeding.&nbsp;This solution is new for Ukrainian farmers, but it is well known in Japan, India, and arid regions of EU countries and the USA.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;More than 50 companies and individuals from the island of Okinawa (Japan) joined forces so that Ukrainian farmers farming in the risky farming zone could receive 5,120 kg of sorbent for free and increase the possible yield in the areas most affected by the destruction of the Kakhovskaya HPP.&nbsp;Thanks to the innovative product provided by our partners from Japan, 125 farmers of Kherson region and Mykolaiv region will be able to at least partially solve the issue of lack of water for irrigation,&#8221;
