Tóm tắt

Climate change is a genuine issue threatening the presence of species and livelihoods, consequently causing the vulnerability. Agricultural vulnerability is seriously undermined by regular disasters, caused by climate change. Therefore, researchers and policymakers are showing their interest in the effect of climate change on agricultural vulnerability through publishing research works. This study aims to perform a bibliometric analysis of climate change-induced agricultural vulnerability using the Web of Science and Scopus databases, and PRISMA method. The study highlights the current trend, hot-spot area, and their development through a literature dataset taken into consideration from 2010 to 2021. The outcome showed that the USA, UK, Australia, and China are the countries with high publications potentials. Consequently, there has been a significant increase (R2 = 0.90) in highlighted research area (2010–2021). The findings revealed that climate change and agricultural vulnerability research expanded gradually into different subject categories. The most frequent keywords were ‘climate change,’ ‘vulnerability,’ ‘adaptation,’ and ‘agriculture.’ The result showed that five clusters displayed the co-occurrences of term map. With the help of each clustering group, development of the respective research field can be smartly analyzed. Based on the findings, several research gaps are identified and offer opportunities for further studies.
