Type: article
Abstract: Agriculture is one of the most important sectors of the economy of the Republic of Uzbekistan. It plays a significant role in ensuring national food security, creating employment opportunities, developing rural areas, increasing export revenues, and improving the overall economic stability of the country. Uzbekistan has considerable agricultural potential due to its geographical location, climatic conditions, fertile soils, and long-established traditions of farming. However, modern agriculture faces a number of challenges, including climate change, water scarcity, soil degradation, outdated irrigation infrastructure, and the growing demand for high-quality agricultural products. Addressing these challenges requires the introduction of innovative technologies, effective resource management, digitalization, and sustainable agricultural practices. This article examines the current condition of agriculture in Uzbekistan, its economic and social importance, the application of modern technologies, water-saving irrigation systems, the development of horticulture and livestock farming, agricultural exports, and the prospects for sustainable development. Special attention is also given to the importance of scientific research, investment, education, and international cooperation in improving agricultural productivity. The article concludes that the successful modernization of agriculture depends on combining traditional agricultural experience with modern scientific achievements and environmentally responsible production methods.
