Located at the crossroads of Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan, the Fergana Valley is an agriculturally and economically important region. However, its natural resources, particularly water and soil, are increasingly under pressure due to overexploitation, climate change, and unsustainable agricultural practices. The valley’s reliance on irrigation for crops such as cotton has led to water scarcity, while overuse of fertilizers and poor land use practices have led to soil degradation and desertification. The region’s biodiversity is also at risk as natural habitats are being destroyed by urbanization and industrialization. Sustainable management of these resources is essential to mitigate these challenges and ensure the long-term viability of the valley’s ecosystems and agriculture. Solutions such as water conservation, efficient irrigation techniques, soil restoration, and regional cooperation between the three countries are essential to addressing the region's environmental challenges, while ensuring food security and economic stability.
