Resumo. The objective of this paper was to use bibliometric methods to analyze the publications of “Agroecology” topic research and citation topics of sustainable development goals (SDGs). Based on Web of Science database and using the bibliometric analysis method, this study analysed 3,865 articles and review types of papers on Agroecology topic research from 1979 to December 3, 2024, including 50 top papers classified as highly cited papers and one hot paper according to the Essential Science Indicators database. Papers mainly written in English (94.64%), were from 143 countries or regions and published in 758 journals and book series. The top five journals are Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems, Sustainability, Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, Agriculture Ecosystems Environment, Agronomy for Sustainable Development.

With co-occurrence network visualization by VOSviewer, all keywords were separated into seven clusters topic research of yield and soil, agriculture sustainability and food sovereignty, biodiversity, sustainable agriculture, climate change on agroforestry, benefits analysis, wildlife. Top 25 keywords with the strongest citation bursts were performed in CiteSpace. Based on ESI database, there are 50 top papers that are both 50 highly cited paper and one hot paper. Most publications focus on five Sustainable Development Goals of 02 Zero Hunger, 15 Life on Land, 13 Climate Action, 03 Good Health and Well Being, 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities. The results help researchers to better understand the current research landscape, but also provide guidance for future research on Agroecology research.
