Agricultural innovation plays a pivotal role in achieving sustainable development and ensuring food security in Uzbekistan, a country with a rich agricultural heritage. However, the sector faces challenges such as limited access to financial resources, inefficient funding mechanisms, and a lack of integration between research institutions and farmers. This article explores strategies to enhance financial support for agricultural innovation, focusing on strengthening organizational and economic mechanisms. Key areas discussed include the development of public-private partnerships, the introduction of targeted financial incentives, and the utilization of international grants and investments. By addressing the financial constraints in the agricultural sector, Uzbekistan can foster innovation, improve productivity, and achieve long-term sustainability. The findings contribute to policy recommendations that align with the country’s broader economic and environmental goals.
