Characteristics of the Natural Resource Potential of Rural Areas
Abstract
This article is devoted to the issues of effective use of the resource potential of rural areas, analyzing its economic, social, and environmental aspects. The study developed recommendations for the sustainable development of rural areas based on scientific research conducted in the areas of diversification of agricultural production, increasing employment and protecting natural resources. At the same time, land, together with its soil cover, is the physical basis and an integral component of the terrestrial ecosystem, combined with the concept of "surrounding natural environment", a condition for the existence of biogeocenoses. In the context of the reform of the existing economic system in the Republic of Uzbekistan, land remains the main reliable resource for improving the situation as an integral part of any economic system. The potential of land resources is an important factor in stabilizing the socio-economic situation in the region. The use of agricultural lands in the region is fraught with certain problems, including water shortages, deterioration of the land reclamation status as a result of salinization, the fact that almost half of the collector-drainage systems are in disrepair, erosion, and other reasons. For landowners in the Namangan region, land rental has become a reliable and stable source of replenishment of family budgets. Farmers have a special attitude to renting their land. Landowners, aware of their role in the production of agricultural products, carefully monitor how their land is cultivated. When implementing such large-scale agrarian reforms, it is necessary to implement a number of measures in the region, in particular, to prevent soil erosion in the Chortoq and Yangikurgan districts, and to reduce salinity in the Naryn, Uychi and Namangan districts. Using the example of the Namangan region, the state of use of rural resources was studied, and proposals were put forward to increase the productivity of agricultural lands and their effective use.
