Description
A true story about agricultural land that was meant to feed the world. Finnish investment banker Joakim Helenius gathered a group of venture investors and founded a company that acquired about 200,000 hectares of black soil in Ukraine (and Russia) – exceptionally fertile agricultural land that made Ukraine the breadbasket of Europe. Journalist and writer Elina Grundström recounts the rise and fall of his company Trigon Agri, interspersing it with the story of the Ukrainian village of Šarivka. The bold visions of Helenius changed the lives of the local residents, and their faith in the future is once again put to a severe test. The author questions whether hunger is returning to the world, as Russian aggression has forever highlighted the significance of black soil fields for global food security. The book unfolds like a thriller, revealing the connections between agriculture and world politics in a fascinating and vivid way. Jury of the Kanava Literary Prize for Non-Fiction.
