Intensification and Sustainability of Production Systems—A Bibliometric Analysis

Conventional intensification of agriculture has contributed to climate change and consequently influenced the food security of a growing global population. Sustainable cultivation alternatives are a viable means of overcoming this problem; however, the literature lacks studies that demonstrate the extent of these practices at a global level. One of the ways to observe research behavior in an area of knowledge is through bibliometric analysis. The objective of this work was to carry out a bibliometric analysis of the intensification and sustainability of production systems between 2013 and 2023. For this, a final set of data with 480 files was used to carry out analyses to identify the evolution and exploration of the theme, keywords and scientific relevance and prominence in the theme. The results demonstrated an increase in the number of publications, highlighting Asian countries as the most influential on the subject and an evolution in trending keywords within the topic. Through bibliometrics it was possible to understand the evolution of intensification and sustainability of production systems, offering valuable perspectives on improving productivity in conjunction with environmental conservation.
