Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technologies has significantly transformed the agricultural sector, giving rise to the concept of digital agriculture. This study aims to analyze the global development, thematic structure, and collaboration patterns of digital agriculture research through a comprehensive bibliometric approach. Data were retrieved from the Scopus database covering publications from 2010 to 2024 and analyzed using VOSviewer to examine co-authorship networks, country collaboration, keyword co-occurrence, overlay visualization, and density mapping. The results indicate a substantial growth in scholarly output, particularly in recent years, reflecting increasing global attention to agricultural digitalization. Core research themes revolve around digital transformation, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), precision agriculture, and sustainable development. Emerging topics such as blockchain, digital platforms, and innovation ecosystems suggest a shift toward integrated and system-level approaches. Country collaboration analysis highlights China, India, and the United States as major contributors, supported by active European research networks. Digital agriculture research has evolved from a technology-centered perspective toward a broader ecosystem-oriented framework integrating sustainability, supply chain digitalization, and innovation. The findings provide a comprehensive overview of the intellectual structure of the field and identify potential directions for future research, particularly in governance, inclusivity, and long-term socio-economic impact.

Abstract

This study aims to map the development of agroforestry research in tropical countries during the period 2010–2024 using a bibliometric approach. Agroforestry has increasingly been recognized as a multifunctional land-use system capable of integrating climate mitigation, biodiversity conservation, and rural livelihood improvement. However, the rapid growth of publications has made it difficult to comprehensively understand research trends, collaboration structures, and thematic evolution within this field. To address this gap, this study analyzes publications indexed in the Scopus database and employs VOSviewer to visualize co-authorship networks, institutional collaborations, country partnerships, keyword co-occurrence patterns, overlay visualization, and density mapping.  The results indicate a significant increase in research output over the last decade, with strong international collaboration networks linking developed countries and tropical regions. The United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and India emerge as central contributors, while tropical countries such as Indonesia, Brazil, Kenya, and Ethiopia are increasingly active in global research partnerships. Thematic analysis reveals that agroforestry research is strongly centered on climate change, biodiversity, ecosystem services, and food security. Overlay visualization shows a temporal shift from earlier conservation-focused studies toward more integrated themes related to carbon sequestration, climate resilience, and smallholder livelihoods.

Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of global research on organic farming published between 2005 and 2024. Using data retrieved from the Scopus database and analyzed through VOSviewer, the study maps publication trends, international collaboration networks, institutional linkages, and thematic structures within the field. The results indicate a significant increase in research output over the past two decades, reflecting the growing importance of organic farming within global sustainability discourse. Collaboration analysis reveals that research leadership remains concentrated in North America and Europe, particularly in the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Italy, although developing countries are increasingly integrated into international research networks. Keyword co-occurrence and overlay visualizations show that organic farming research is strongly anchored in themes such as biodiversity, ecosystem services, climate change, carbon sequestration, and food security. Over time, the research focus has shifted from conservation and land-use concerns toward climate resilience, greenhouse gas mitigation, and smallholder livelihoods. Despite this progress, gaps remain in areas related to policy innovation, market governance, digital transformation, and economic scalability. Overall, the findings demonstrate that organic farming research has matured into an interdisciplinary and globally interconnected field that plays a strategic role in advancing sustainable agricultural systems.

Abstract

This study aims to map and analyze the development of local food security research in Southeast Asia through a bibliometric approach, with a focus on identifying dominant research issues, collaboration patterns, and future research directions. Using data extracted from the Scopus database and analyzed with VOSviewer, the study examines publication trends, keyword co-occurrence networks, overlay visualization, and density mapping. The findings indicate that food security research in Southeast Asia is strongly centered on themes such as food supply, climate change, sustainable development, and agricultural production. Over time, the research focus has shifted from macro-level production and economic perspectives toward resilience-based and sustainability-oriented frameworks, particularly emphasizing smallholder vulnerability, crop yield under climate stress, and adaptive agricultural strategies. The density analysis further reveals that while core themes are well established, topics related to localized governance, protein diversification, urban food systems, and digital innovation remain less explored. Collaboration patterns suggest regional anchoring with connections to broader developing-country discourse, highlighting the importance of strengthening intra-regional research networks. The study provides a structured overview of the intellectual landscape of local food security research in Southeast Asia and offers a forward-looking agenda emphasizing climate resilience, sustainability integration, and inclusive regional collaboration.

Abstract

Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) has emerged as a strategic framework for addressing the intertwined challenges of climate change, food security, and sustainable agricultural development. This study aims to map the global research landscape of Climate-Smart Agriculture using a bibliometric approach. Data were retrieved from the Scopus database and analyzed using VOSviewer to examine publication trends, co-authorship networks, institutional collaboration, country partnerships, keyword co-occurrence, overlay visualization, and density mapping. The results indicate that CSA research is strongly anchored in the broader discourse of climate change, with dominant themes including food security, adaptation, mitigation, sustainability, and smallholder resilience. The keyword clustering reveals three major intellectual streams: socio-economic resilience, environmental sustainability, and technological innovation. Overlay analysis shows a temporal shift from early vulnerability and adaptation-focused studies toward more recent research emphasizing smart agriculture, precision farming, and digital climate solutions. Collaboration networks demonstrate strong North–South and South–South partnerships, with India, the United States, Kenya, and Ethiopia emerging as key contributors. Institutional mapping highlights the central role of international agricultural research centers and universities in shaping the field. CSA research reflects a mature and interdisciplinary domain that increasingly integrates technological innovation with sustainability objectives. Future research should prioritize inclusive digital solutions, policy implementation analysis, and stronger collaboration among climate-vulnerable regions to enhance the transformative impact of CSA practices.
