Abstract

The article presents a bibliometric analysis of scientific studies devoted to the problems of food security of the state. In the work, we assessed the trends, dynamics and main directions of research development in this field. We analyzed scientific publications, identified key scientific journals, authors, countries and organizations that conduct active research in this field. It was found that scientists from the USA, China and Great Britain made the greatest contribution to the study of this problem, followed by India, Australia, Canada and Germany. The obtained results indicate an increase in the number of publications on this topic. The results of the study showed that interest in the problem of food security is growing significantly, especially in the context of climate challenges and political instability in many regions of the world. The revealed trends indicate that special attention is paid to the issues of ensuring the stability of food supplies, increasing the efficiency of agricultural production and reducing dependence on external sources of supply. The results of this study are relevant and allow us to outline the direction for further study of this issue. During the research, various methods were used to evaluate and visualize scientific activity: analysis of citations to identify influential works and authors, methods of analysis and synthesis, logical method.
