Energy plays an essential role in the modern society and can serve as one of the vital parameters of socio-economic development. Despite developments in technology, over three billion persons living in rural parts of the low- and middle-income countries continue to cover their energy needs for cooking through traditional ways by burning biomass resources. This paper as a case study focuses on the Aral Sea region of Uzbekistan, possessing a well-developed agricultural production with high livestock numbers and intensive crop production. The manure of the livestock farms is not used efficiently and the energy supply of the farms depends primarily on centrally produced gas and electricity. Some areas are not yet connected to the gas grid. Agriculture causes huge environmental damages in its current form. The benefit of biogas production would therefore be fivefold: (1) local energy source, (2) mitigation of environmental impacts, (3) reducing CH4-emissions, (4) producing organic fertilizer as a side product and (5) additional earnings for farmers.

The paper examines ecotourism in the Aral Sea region of Uzbekistan, an area with a fragile environment that has faced ecological crises and requires careful sustainable development. It looks at the supply side of ecotourism by examining Uzbekistani tour operators’ awareness of benefits derivable from promoting ecotourism in the region, and the local tourism industry’s motives to engage in this development. As a research methodology, the results of an exploratory survey of travel agents and tour operators highlight the policy-making and management interventions required for the more effective promotion and development of ecotourism in the Aral Sea region. The paper analyzes the challenges and opportunities associated with promoting ecotourism activities in the Aral Sea region in pursuit of sustainable regional development, improved livelihood for the local population, employment opportunity and income source creation, and enriched service exports. Key findings from the study show that stakeholders are aware of ecotourism’s value and are motivated to implement ecotourism in the region, but they have limited experience, competence, and international networks to promote and market ecotourism products and services. Local stakeholders have raised the issue that infrastructure development and access to microfinance are their greatest needs from local authorities in Uzbekistan.

This paper focuses on regional integration through the lenses of the Water–Food–Energy (WEF) nexus, a concept putting strong emphasis on cross-sectoral and multi-level interactions as well as on resource interdependencies. There is an extensive amount of published research focusing on the Aral Sea basin. In this paper, the authors build upon these different contributions and provide a meta-analysis of the literature of WEF nexus opportunities in Central Asia (CA) countries. This paper contributes to ongoing discussions regarding how the WEF Nexus can represent an opportunity for reinforced collaboration regarding resources management. To do so, focusing on existing literature, this paper first (1) explores how the nexus can be a relevant instrument for regional integration. Second (2), it provides an overview of water, food, energy conditions and challenges in the Aral Sea basin in particular. Third (3), synthesizing existing research, the authors identify critical variables to be considered as hurdles or leverage points for WEF nexus implementation in the Aral Sea basin. Finally (4), we go back to our initial set of questions and identify some possible avenues for future research.

Cotton in Central Asia has a reputation for causing the twentieth-century ecological catastrophe known as the Aral Sea crisis. The cotton industry was blamed for political repression, economic stagnation, widespread poverty and environmental degradation in the region.1 The cotton monoculture practices imposed during the former Soviet era not only diverted massive amounts of water from the Amu Darya, one of the two main feeders of the Aral Sea, but also caused ecological problems, such as desertification, water and soil salinization, and air and water pollution due to the run-off of pesticides and fertilizers. The consequences and environmental costs proved to be drastic: dying of the sea, deterioration of the environment for more than five million people living in the region of the sea, high rates of disease incidents, as well as even farther-reaching ecological problems. However, cotton is of paramount importance to Uzbekistan, a backbone of its economy. Not only it does account for a considerable share in foreign exchange revenues and GDP, but it also provides employment and income security for a large share of the rural population. Concurrently, affected by fluctuations in prices on the world cotton market, the export of cotton fiber caused the government of Uzbekistan a loss of about US$1.5 billion between 1998 and 2001.2 Hence a continuation of the cotton monoculture and export of low value fiber can no longer be regarded as the vehicle for permanent, broad-based, and environmentally sustainable growth. A shift from the primary commodity exports to the export of value added cotton products and the removal of trade barriers became a key aspect of recent reforms. There is definitely scope for maintaining and even increasing the returns from cotton without an increase in cotton areas. Decreasing cotton areas, shifting land unsuitable for cotton to other crops, or establishing alternative uses such as tree plantations or pastures can contribute greatly to ongoing attempts to prevent or mitigate further aggravation of the ecological situation in the region. Value Chain Analysis was applied in the study region Khorezm to get a comprehensive picture of the entire cotton sector by describing the cotton flows, actors involved and their interrelationships, costs of production, and income distribution along the cotton chain. This approach allowed the assessment of some scenarios aimed at reducing the dependence on cotton while maintaining income both to the state and the farmers, as well as the estimation of ecological impacts of reforms in the cotton sector. For example, export revenue of the baseline scenario could be maintained with a simultaneous reduction in raw cotton areas of 3.5 times, in the Khorezm region alone. Under this scenario, about 80,000 ha could be released from state orders and diversified for alternative crops or land uses (tree plantations or forage crops), thus making agriculture more environmentally friendly while maintaining its economic importance.
