In agricultural production, land serves as the basis for operations and the object of labor owing to its productivity determined by a specific property – soil fertility. Because of this property, land undeniably constitutes the main means of production in agriculture. Soil fertility largely determines the effectiveness of crop production. The study aims to identify the global trends, national challenges, and prospects of sustainable soil resource management in Central Asian countries. The study examines the core theoretical concepts pertaining to soil degradation. Through comparative and correlation analysis of the scores of the top 10 and Central Asian countries on the indicators and sub-indicators of the Global Food Security Index, the study identifies the place of Central Asian countries in the global ranking, including the condition of soil resources and its influence on food security. Recommended measures for managing soil resource risks are identified using an expert survey. The study concludes that the proposed measures for managing soil resources risks associated with soil degradation, soil pollution, violation of the optimal land use ratio, and the unsatisfactory phytosanitary condition of crops can mitigate the negative consequences for crop production in Central Asian countries.
