Цифровизация сельского хозяйства выступает одним из ключевых факторов структурной трансформации аграрного сектора в условиях глобальных вызовов продовольственной безопасности и устойчивого развития. Целью данного исследования является комплексная систематизация и углублённый анализ научных публикаций, посвящённых цифровизации сельского хозяйства, за период 2001–2024 гг. на основе данных международной библиографической базы Scopus с применением библиометрических методов. Методы исследования включают библиометрический анализ публикаций, индексированных в базе данных Scopus, с использованием протокола TITLEABS-KEY и программного обеспечения VOSviewer. Исходные данные охватывают 1 326 научных статей за период 2001–2024 гг. Результаты показали, что до 2017 г. в базе было зарегистрировано лишь 28 публикаций, тогда как в 2018–2019 гг. их число выросло с 7 до 62 (почти в 10 раз), а в 2020–2024 гг. достигло диапазона 129–318 статей ежегодно. Лидирующие позиции занимают Россия (400 публикаций, около 30%), Индия (118), Китай (113), Германия (107) и Италия (90). Казахстан представлен 22 публикациями (примерно 2%), что свидетельствует о формировании национального исследовательского направления. Кластерный анализ выявил четыре ключевых тематических блока: экономико-институциональный, данные и IoT-управление, устойчивое развитие и климат, цифровые платформы агроиндустрии. Полученные результаты подтверждают, что цифровизация аграрного сектора эволюционирует от технологического фокуса к комплексной экономико-институциональной трансформации и формирует основу для дальнейших эмпирических исследований эффективности цифровых решений в сельском хозяйстве. 

Digitalization of agriculture is one of the key factors in the structural transformation of the agricultural sector in the context of global challenges to food security and sustainable development. The purpose of this study is a comprehensive systematization and in-depth analysis of scientific publications on the digitalization of agriculture for the period 2001-2024 based on data from the international bibliographic database Scopus using bibliometric methods. The research methods include bibliometric analysis of publications indexed in the Scopus database using the TITLE-ABS-KEY protocol and VOSviewer software. The initial data covers 1,326 scientific articles for the period 2001-2024. The results showed that until 2017, only 28 publications were registered in the database, whereas in 2018-2019 their number increased from 7 to 62 (almost 10 times), and in 2020-2024 it reached the range of 129-318 articles annually. The leading positions are occupied by Russia (400 publications, about 30%), India (118), China (113), Germany (107) and Italy (90). Kazakhstan is represented by 22 publications (approximately 2%), which indicates the formation of a national research direction. The cluster analysis identified four key thematic blocks: economic and institutional, data and IoT management, sustainable development and climate, and digital platforms for the agricultural industry. The results obtained confirm that the digitalization of the agricultural sector is evolving from a technological focus to a comprehensive economic and institutional transformation and forms the basis for further empirical research on the effectiveness of digital solutions in agriculture.
