This award represents high-level international recognition of the reforms being implemented in Uzbekistan.
Bridging science and practice: The “Yangi Agronom” (“New Agronomist”) system has been introduced at our university, with 100 students assigned to leading agricultural clusters and farms in Tashkent, Syrdarya, and Jizzakh regions. This year, the initiative has been expanded, and 300 students are receiving training in agricultural machinery operation.
