Abstract

This review analyzed 471 journal articles focusing on Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) in the agri-food sector. Using bibliometric analysis and systematic literature review techniques, it aimed to uncover key debates and insights. It examined relevant bibliometric data by employing tools like HistCite 12.03.17, VOSviewer 1.6.19, and CiteNetExplorer 1.0.0. Furthermore, using content analysis, the literature was classified and discussed under six main clusters: IPR's impact on technology and innovation, IPR's influence on seeds, IPR's role in sustainable development, intersections between IPR and research and development, discussions on geographical indications (GIs), and IPR management and policy. These clusters provided diverse perspectives on IPR's role in the agri-food sector, ranging from fostering innovation and sustainability to concerns about power concentration, farmer rights, environmental impacts, and socioeconomic outcomes. GIs were unanimously recognized for safeguarding product reputation tied to specific regions. The review summarized the intricate relationship between IPR and research and development and tools for effective IPR management and policy considerations. Overall, the IPR in agri-food sector literature offers diverse, sometimes conflicting views with limited empirical research. As a result, further comprehensive empirical investigations are required to understand the subject and better inform policymakers.

农业食品链中的知识产权：系统回顾和文献计量分析

本综述分析了 471 篇关于农业食品行业知识产权 (IPR) 的期刊文章。采用文献计量分析和系统文献综述技术，旨在揭示关键的辩论和见解。它使用 HistCite 12.03.17、VOSviewer 1.6.19 和 CiteNetExplorer 1.0.0 等工具对相关文献计量数据进行了研究。此外，通过内容分析，对文献进行了分类，并按照六大类进行了讨论：知识产权对技术和创新的影响、知识产权对种子的影响、知识产权在可持续发展中的作用、知识产权与研发之间的交叉、关于地理标志（GIs）的讨论以及知识产权管理和政策。这些专题组就知识产权在农业食品领域的作用提出了不同的观点，从促进创新和可持续发展，到对权力集中、农民权利、环境影响和社会经济成果的担忧，不一而足。大家一致认为，地理标志保护了与特定地区相关的产品声誉。审查总结了知识产权与研发之间错综复杂的关系，以及有效管理知识产权的工具和政策考虑因素。总体而言，有关农业食品行业知识产权的文献观点多样，有时相互冲突，实证研究有限。因此，需要进一步开展全面的实证调查，以了解这一主题并更好地为决策者提供信息。
