Abstract
Climate change is a huge concern with far‐reaching negative consequences for many industries, including agricultural ecosystems. Having a broad understanding of the evolving landscape of research relating to climate change and its impact on agriculture is very important for stakeholders as well as policymakers. The present study explores the intellectual structure and bibliometric analysis of the available literature on climate change and agriculture. Using data from the Scopus database, we examine publication trends, citation networks, thematic evolution, geographic distribution, and co‐authorship networks to provide a holistic view. We conducted a bibliometric analysis of a total of 1426 papers ranging from the period from 1989 to 2023 (January). Our results will help in understanding the knowledge gaps and emerging areas within climate change and agriculture research. By uncovering these knowledge gaps, this study aims to guide future research directions and facilitate evidence‐based policymaking. The findings provide important resources for researchers, practitioners, policymakers and decision‐makers striving to develop sustainable solutions and adaptive strategies that address the impacts of climate change on agriculture, ensuring long‐term food security and environmental resilience.Keywords
