Abstract
This article analyzes the economic impact of climate factors on grain yields, particularly wheat. It focuses on rising temperatures, precipitation variability, drought, heat stress, and irrigation water scarcity as key risks to agricultural productivity. The study reviews foreign adaptation practices, including climate-resilient breeding, water-saving irrigation, flexible crop calendars, climate services, and public support mechanisms. Based on existing literature, the article identifies relevant adaptation measures for improving the resilience and economic efficiency of Uzbekistan’s grain sector under climate uncertainty.
