A Bibliometric Analysis of Governance for Food Security: Global Trends and Future Research Directions

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT This study explores the development in governance for food security and offers a quantitative summary of the trends, contributors, knowledge gaps and suggests future research directions in the area. Using a bibliometric analysis, a sample of 1386 articles from the Scopus database were examined to identify global trends in governance for food security between 1988 and 2023. The bibliometric analysis reveals that governance for food security still needs to be explored from different methodological and contextual points (i.e., food governance and policy). Research is still underdeveloped in some deprived nations. It is also evident that collaborative works between scholars from different countries could address various food security issues that may arise in some concerned nations. The paper concludes by suggesting potential avenues for future research and outlining practical implications of the findings.
