Climate change and agriculture: ways to adapt

The goal is a bibliometric analysis of scientific publications on the topic of adaptation of Agriculture to climate change using the Web of Science database and the Vos Viewer information visualization tool.

Methods - based on the bibliometry of publication activity on climate - oriented restructuring of the agricultural sector. This approach allows you to identify the main areas of research, identify the most active countries, authors, and also identify emerging trends in science. The international abstract digital asset Web of Science Core Collection was involved as the main source of data. After conducting a search query and applying the appropriate filters, the relevant published materials were exported from the web of Science structured array and entered into postprocessing mode through the Vos Viewer provisioning program.

Results - bibliometric maps of the scientifically based landscape were built using vos viewer. The most intensive developments are observed in the areas of climate smart agro-industrial production, economic assessment of adaptation strategies, digital technologies and financial mechanisms for supporting farmers. It was found that economic barriers - limited access to funding, lack of a risk compensation system, and institutional instability significantly reduce the potential for transformation.

Based on the results obtained, conclusions were drawn about the current state and directions of research work in this area. The study of modern academic literature shows a growing interest in the problems of adaptation measures in the agricultural sphere in response to climate change. At the same time, there is a shift in the focus of research from reactive measures to proactive models based on the integration of biophysical, economic and institutional approaches.
