Climate change, resource limitations, and food security are putting pressure on agriculture. A bibliometric approach was adopted, using data from Scopus and Web of Science for the period 1994–2025. The combined total of documents from both platforms was 1693 records. After eliminating 581 duplicate records, 1112 documents were in the dataset. The study used descriptive analysis, co-citation analysis, keyword co-occurrence analysis and thematic mapping to determine publication trends, knowledge clusters and thematic evolution. The results reveal that the field is organized conceptually around the notions of climate change and food security. The number of annual publications grew significantly, from 38 in 2018 to 450 in 2025, reflecting a recent surge in activity in this research area. Digital agriculture can emerge as a motor theme that supports recent research growth. The dimension of governance appears as a supportive aspect, and the integration between themes is incomplete. The outcome presents a systematic insight into the relationship between technological, environmental and governance aspects that interrelate in agricultural research. However, publications that were not in English were excluded during the data filtering process. Thematic integration should be reinforced and the scope of data expanded in future studies.
