Development of sustainable agriculture through the agricultural incomes stabilization

Abstract. Sustainable agricultural development is a multidimensional concept that has gained great importance over time. Therefore, identifying the factors affecting each of the dimensions of sustainable agriculture is necessary and essential for proper planning. The main purpose of this research was to evaluate the environmental, social and economic impacts of modern agricultural development and its determinants from the perspective of the beneficiaries, so that the quantitative and qualitative process of these projects can be modified and revised. The method of this research is from the quantitative studies group and is of a descriptive type, controlling non-experimental variables, with an applied objective and collecting data using the survey technique. In this article, an attempt has been made to examine the factors affecting the four dimensions of sustainable agricultural development in Uzbekistan using statistical analysis and a sample of 118 farmers, randomly selected; and information obtained from completing a questionnaire in 2023-2024. The results showed that the average social sustainability indicators were 0.56, environmental sustainability 0.44, and economic sustainability 0.61. Finally, based on the results obtained, suggestions were presented for the success of implementing and operating such projects.
