Food security is a significant global issue that involves ensuring the availability, accessibility, and quality of food essential for public health, economic growth, and social stability. Uzbekistan, located at the heart of Central Asia, has made notable strides in achieving food security through extensive agricultural reforms, the use of modern technologies, and the growth of its export capabilities. However, the country still faces important challenges such as climate change, water shortages, increasing population, and dependence on wheat imports. This article explores Uzbekistan's path toward food security, emphasizing its successes and the challenges that remain, while also considering strategic solutions to improve agricultural productivity and sustainability. By tackling these issues, Uzbekistan can strengthen its position as a regional agricultural leader and a dependable player in global food systems.
