Summary
This bibliometric study examined 20 years of peer-reviewed research on climate change and coffee production using data from Scopus and Web of Science, analysed with the bibliometrix package in R. Brazil emerged as the leading research producer, followed by the United States and France, with substantial international collaboration evident. The analysis identified persistent research gaps in the integration of environmental, productive, and socioeconomic dimensions, and highlighted the need for more applied, adaptive-strategy-focused research.
Regional applicability
The findings are geographically distributed rather than UK-focused, though the prominence of climate impacts on global coffee production has implications for UK-based food systems research, supply chain risk, and development policy. The identification of research gaps—particularly around integrated approaches and practical application—may inform UK-supported international research priorities in agricultural adaptation.
Key measures
Publication volume trends by year; research output by country; author citation impact; keyword frequency analysis; international collaboration patterns
Outcomes reported
A bibliometric analysis identifying publication trends, leading research actors, and thematic priorities in the scientific literature on climate change and coffee production from 2006–2026. The analysis revealed significant growth in publications from 2020 onwards, with Brazil, the United States, and France as leading contributors.
Supporting research
Bibliometric study explicitly analyses climate-change literature on coffee production and management.
Limits: Literature mapping is not a crop experiment or complete literature inventory; retain databases and study period as reported.
