Abstract
In recent years, the information and communication technologies (ICT) with the agricultural sector has garnered significant attention due to its potential to transform and optimize agricultural practices. This study provides a comprehensive picture of the previous and current state of ICT in agricultural research, thereby shedding light on the existing knowledge landscape and key research themes. The study presents a mapping research approach that explores the conceptual structure of ICT in agriculture research using co-occurrence analysis drawing upon the Web of Science database with the results of 8,654 documents that have been published from 1989 to 2023. From a total of 2,930 keywords and the five most frequent keywords have been identified as: "performance", "growth", "expression", "impact", and "identification". The findings from this study contribute to the broader understanding of the ICT-agriculture research landscape and provide valuable insights for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in this evolving field.
