Climate change, environmental imbalances, atmospheric pollution, and desertification affect agriculture and food security.

The growing shortage of land, water, and food resources worldwide requires the adoption of international standards for the rational use of existing resources.

In its election program, the Ecological Party of Uzbekistan promotes the need to implement several tasks in this direction. In particular, the party believes that it is important to protect agricultural and food producers from the effects of climate change and to review the mechanisms of their state support in force majeure cases.

The party stands for fully adapting food production to environmental requirements, fighting the production and sale of food products such as synthetic meat, ensuring a clear display on product labels of information about the composition of food products, where and how they are produced, including the number of products containing genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and popularizing products that do not contain GMOs.

In addition, the program provides for the introduction of state subsidies for the planting and reproduction of plant varieties resistant to adverse climatic conditions and drought, the widespread introduction of resource- and energy-saving, environmentally friendly innovative technologies in preparing land for growing crops, the introduction of imported and introduced plant varieties and animal breeds based on in-depth study, as well as the adoption of measures to prevent, control or eliminate the introduction of invasive alien species.

Such proposals and initiatives of the party are widely promoted among voters, and their importance is explained.
