This bibliometric study looks at how the area of sustainable crop management research is growing by looking at publications and how often they are cited. We use VOSviewer software and advanced bibliometric methodologies to identify emerging research topics, co-authorship networks, trends, and significant publications. Our data reveals that the number of study articles has grown a lot over the last 40 years. This suggests that more people are starting to recognize how important sustainable agriculture is. Important books by well-known authors provide basic knowledge, while networks of co-authors focus on working together on research projects. Agroecology and climate-resilient agriculture are two new areas of research that provide us an idea of where the sector is headed in the future. This study aids in making educated choices on food security and sustainable agriculture by fostering knowledge of prevailing trends and significant publications.
