摘要

Agroforestry systems (AFS) are recognized as a sustainable approach to food production, combining trees, crops, and sometimes animals. Their relevance is growing in the context of climate change, due to their potential to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and increase the resilience of agroecosystems. This study conducted a scientometric analysis to map scientific trends on AFS and climate change between 2014 and 2024. The methodology was based on a search of the Web of Science database, which resulted in 1553 initial articles. After manual verification of the titles, the data were processed with the Bibliometrix package in RStudio for bibliometric analysis. The results show moderate but consistent growth in the number of publications, with strong academic influence. The journal Agroforestry Systems led in publication volume, while the Journal of Cleaner Production stood out for its high average impact per article. The analysis of keywords and research areas revealed the main thematic focuses: carbon sequestration, ecosystem services, and biodiversity. This indicates that the scientific literature focuses on the role of AFS in climate mitigation and the maintenance of essential ecological functions. In conclusion, the analysis confirms that AFS are widely studied as an integrated strategy for climate change adaptation and mitigation. Research is consolidated around their environmental benefits, with an emphasis on carbon sequestration and ecosystem services. The results suggest scientific maturity in the area, pointing to the need for further studies addressing practical implementation, socioeconomic aspects, and public policies to expand the adoption of these systems.
