Abstract

Agricultural waste is a rich yet underutilized resource for bioactive compounds that have significant potential in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and functional food industries. This study systematically analyzed 23 peer-reviewed articles from the Scopus database to identify the types of bioactive compounds present in agricultural waste, the extraction methods used, their applications, and associated challenges. The findings revealed that phenolics, flavonoids, tannins, carotenoids, and saponins are the most commonly identified bioactive compounds. Advanced extraction techniques such as ultrasound-assisted and supercritical fluid extraction demonstrated superior efficiency compared to conventional methods. Applications of these compounds span health, wellness, and food sectors, supporting sustainable development and the circular economy. However, challenges including high extraction costs, standardization issues, and regulatory hurdles must be addressed to realize their full potential. This study emphasizes the need for further research and collaboration to enhance the valorization of agricultural waste and unlock its economic and environmental benefits.

Abstract

This study presents a bibliometric review of research on green farming practices published between 2010 and 2024. Using data retrieved from the Scopus database and analyzed through VOSviewer, the study examines publication trends, collaboration networks, and thematic evolution within the field. The findings indicate a significant growth in scholarly output over the last decade, reflecting increasing global concern for sustainable agricultural transformation. Keyword co-occurrence analysis reveals that early research focused primarily on agronomic practices such as soil management, manure application, crop rotation, and yield improvement. Over time, the thematic orientation expanded toward broader sustainability issues, including climate change, biodiversity, food security, and environmental protection. Co-authorship and country collaboration networks highlight the central role of countries such as India, the United States, China, and several European nations in shaping the global research agenda. Overlay and density visualizations further demonstrate a shift from technical input management toward integrated sustainability and resilience frameworks. Overall, the study confirms that green farming research has matured into an interdisciplinary and policy-relevant domain that integrates agronomic innovation with global sustainability challenges.
