The Bibliometric Analysis of Sustainable Organic Farming in Thailand
Main Article Content
Abstract
The government has promoted agriculture sectors, which are the main source of Thai people’s income, to be sustainable for the purpose of farmers having a better quality of life. It is important that quality research results can be put into practice. For this reason, this research compiled sustainable agriculture research results from a reliable international database to analyze research results and reflected on trends and challenges driving the country. By collecting data systematically with a coding sheet of 36 articles, it integrated different fields of research results: social sciences, sciences, and engineering, which focused on environmental science. The linkage of the research results was analyzed by using bibliometric methods to reflect research issues on rice and alternative agriculture as popular subjects in the study. However, most of the research findings are not comprehensive in all regions and there is no species diversity. In addition, research issues that promoted income generation opportunities for farmers, which are urgent issues under the government policy, were not well-researched. Thus, trends and issues of sustainable agriculture research are highly recommended for future research.
