Abstract

This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the impact of climate change on farmers. This study uses quantitative methods to analyze and provide a representative picture with the help of VOSViewer. This bibliometric research focuses on observing research activities and trends worldwide using published data from the Scopus database with the keywords vulnerability of farmers and climate change impacts from 2018 to 2022. There are 269 documents analyzed in this research. The study results show that over the last five years, research related to the impact of climate change on farmers has tended to increase, and the phenomenon of climate change has been the most widely discussed. Several other keywords already saturated for research are vulnerability, agriculture, adaptation, adaptive management, and climate effect. This shows that this research is interesting to discuss and explore more broadly
