Exploring the Systems Dynamics of Rice Security: A Bibliometric Analysis

Food security remains a critical global challenge for human health, economic stability, and social development. Addressing this issue necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the complex and interrelated factors influencing food systems. Systems Dynamics (SD) offers a robust framework for analyzing these complexities, allowing for modeling feedback loops, causal relationships, and time delays. This study employs a detailed bibliometric analysis to examine the scholarly output on food security using SD, spanning publications from 1982 to 2024. Utilizing the Scopus database, the analysis identifies vital trends, influential studies, and collaborative networks within this field. Findings highlight a significant increase in research interest, particularly in recent years, with notable contributions from environmental science, agricultural sciences, and mathematics. The insights gained from this analysis inform future research directions and support the development of more effective food security policies.
