Abstract
Expected changes in the demographic pattern, growth of personal income and related transformations of the lifestyle and behavioral stereotypes will eventually lead to the substantial increase in demand for food products, transform people’s food consumption pattern. On the supply side, climate change as well as the accelerated transformations and rapid industrialization could augment negative anthropogenic impact on the environment, affect water supply, quality of land, thus, influencing the crop yield and productivity in agriculture. Therefore, ensuring food security towards 2030 will require more complex approaches, policies and tools. The paper suggests strategies for food policy in Uzbekistan towards 2030 incorporating three key dimensions: 1) food availability; 2) access to food; and 3) balanced and high quality nutrition.
