Abstract

This paper presents a bibliometric analysis of women’s role in agriculture from a global perspective, with a particular focus on the Global South, emphasising the challenges women face. It identifies key research trends and thematic developments by analysing 3,304 records from the Web of Science database from 1991 to 2024 with the Biblioshiny app and the VOSviewer software. The findings reveal a notable increase in publications between 2022 and 2023, particularly in the Journal of Rural Studies and World Development. Influential authors, such as C. Leukefeld, R. Meinzen-Dick, and A. Quisumbing, are identified based on citation metrics (H-index and G-index). In the last decade, researchers from India and China have notably increased their focus in this field. Thematic mapping highlights core areas, including food security, rural development, and women’s empowerment, with emerging topics such as gender equity, climate change resilience, and agricultural productivity. The co-occurrence keyword network analysis underscores an intense research focus on women’s empowerment, particularly in the Global South. Additionally, analysis of the 50 most cited studies in the field reveals that regression analysis is the predominant research method used to explore complex relationships between variables, especially in the context of women’s empowerment and food security.
