This review explores the critical role of crop diversification in enhancing sustainable agricultural development in Uzbekistan, a nation traditionally dominated by cotton and wheat monoculture. It delves into various strategies for diversification, such as policy reforms, conservation agriculture, water management innovations, and capacity building, and evaluates their environmental, economic, and social impacts. Despite the benefits of diversification, challenges including policy constraints, technical gaps, water scarcity, and climate change impacts persist. Recommendations emphasize the need for comprehensive policy support, research investment, and socio-economic mechanisms to address these hurdles. The manuscript highlights that effective diversification can significantly contribute to Uzbekistan’s transition towards a more resilient, productive, and sustainable agricultural landscape, underscoring the importance of a collaborative approach among stakeholders to realize this goal.
