Abstract
Sustainable crop intensification (SCPI) is a system that allows for increasing the intensity of the use of land and non-agricultural resources in agricultural production without having a negative impact on the environment, as well as on those additional areas that are not suitable for agricultural purposes. SCPI is most suitable for the Turkestan region, characterized by favorable climatic and socio-economic conditions for the adaptation of the strategy. It should also be noted that many agricultural technologies have already been introduced in the region in accordance with relevant economic, cultural and traditional practices that can increase the vulnerability of agriculture to environmental changes. The purpose of this study is to coordinate the results of scientific research and the experience of farmers in maintaining production efficiency and observing environmental stability considerations in the conditions of the Turkestan region. In addition, given the fact that the rate of depletion of natural resources and the burden on ecosystems is increasing, more advanced and sustainable farming methods should be applied. Small farms, which currently occupy a significant part of the cultivated land in the region, should be supported by technological and policy innovations leading to the sustainable improvement of farms.
