In Uzbekistan, the protection of human rights and freedoms has become the main criterion for ensuring the rule of law
2024-12-05 276In the context of modern globalization, the protection of human and citizen rights and freedoms, as well as their legitimate interests within a country's territory, becomes particularly significant for every nation. Ensuring human rights, social cohesion, and the guarantee of well-being are leading contemporary strategies aligned with the "theory of social contract." In recent years, systematic efforts have been undertaken to strengthen the legislative and organizational-legal framework for human rights protection, integrate international standards into national legislation, and fulfill international obligations.
Human rights can be fully ensured only in a state where the rule of law prevails. Currently, Uzbekistan, alongside other countries worldwide, is working to address existing challenges and is making progress by ensuring human rights based on international standards and criteria. -
Digitalization of agriculture in Uzbekistan increases the competitiveness of the industry
2024-12-05 277Modern challenges such as the rapid growth of the global population, the adverse effects of climate change, and the current geopolitical situation demand increased efficiency and sustainability in the agricultural sector of every nation. In addressing these issues, the digitalization of agriculture, optimization of management, and implementation of information technologies play a crucial role. These advancements enhance labor productivity and ensure the competitiveness of the agricultural industry.
The Republic of Uzbekistan, as a country with a steadily growing population and an increasing demand for agricultural products, is no exception. According to statistical data, as of October 1, 2024, the permanent population of Uzbekistan reached 37.3 million. Projections by the Institute for Forecasting and Macroeconomic Research indicate that by 2030, the population will exceed 41 million. This growth places a significant responsibility on the agricultural sector, alongside healthcare and education, as population increases naturally drive higher demand for quality food and agricultural products.
To cultivate high-quality agricultural produce and improve crop yields, it is essential to address shortcomings at every stage — from soil preparation for planting to the delivery of the harvested crops to processing facilities. This includes the timely execution of agronomic measures and ensuring transparency in the sector. Achieving these goals is possible only through the comprehensive digitalization of agriculture.
In this regard, particular attention is being paid to the digitalization of Uzbekistan’s agricultural industry. In accordance with adopted legal and regulatory frameworks, efforts are being made to expand the development of integrated information and geoinformation systems in various areas of agriculture. Simultaneously, the adoption of information and communication technologies (ICT) and software solutions in production processes is being actively promoted. -
