Abstract

This study aims at assessing the global research productivity and discovery of knowledge clusters on circular economy and agriculture using bibliometric analysis. A total of 757 articles have been retrieved from the Scopus database covering the period from 2008 to 2022 on the theme of circular economy and agriculture. The analysis reveals interesting theoretical and practical implications of scientific publications on circular economy and agriculture. The idea of a circular economy in agriculture started gaining importance after 2015 and gradually received significant focus from the scientific community with exponential growth in research publications and citations. Out of the top 10 leading publishing countries on circular economy and agriculture, 6 countries belong to the European Union. The keyword analysis identified four key research areas of CE and agriculture. Highly relevant and less developed research themes such as agricultural sustainability, waste management & recycling, anaerobic digestion and food security have been identified as future research focus areas. The thematic research evolution indicates the merging of multiple themes over time and the emergence of circular agriculture as a core model. A comprehensive knowledge synthesis about circular agricultural practices may help in the adoption of strategic, operational, and competitive advantages, and motivate researchers to undertake further scientific investigations to strengthen the circularity in agriculture.
