Abstract

Oil palm plantations face important challenges in terms of balancing agricultural productivity and environmental sustainability. This research synthesis aims to answer key questions regarding the state and knowledge gaps of oil palm (OP) research and technological development (R&D) at a global scale, in Latin America and in Mexico, using all Web of Science® databases and agriculture categories and time spans between 1960 and 2018. Three thousand nine hundred and forty-eight publications were analysed. The research themes started with the generation of agronomic knowledge in 1960. Since 1963, studies in Latin America have focused on yield improvement; since 2010, topics related to agroecology, product quality, health issues, biodiversity, conservation impacts, and biofuel uses have been widely integrated, although some relevant themes are lacking. In addition, considering the high domestic demand for crude palm oil and great available natural resources, few Mexican institutions have participated in publications registered in Web of Science (WOS) on this topic. This research proposes a quick exploratory and reliable instrument for evaluating the agronomic interest of any agricultural production system.

油棕作物:全球范围、拉丁美洲和墨西哥的研究与技术发展现状和差距

油棕种植园在平衡农业生产力和环境可持续性方面面临着重大挑战。本研究综合旨在回答有关油棕(OP)研究和技术开发(R&D)的状态和知识差距的关键问题，在全球范围内，在拉丁美洲和墨西哥，使用所有Web of Science®数据库和农业类别和1960年至2018年的时间跨度。分析了三千九百四十八份出版物。研究主题始于1960年农艺知识的产生。自1963年以来，拉丁美洲的研究集中于提高产量;自2010年以来，尽管缺乏一些相关主题，但与生态农业、产品质量、健康问题、生物多样性、保护影响和生物燃料使用有关的主题已被广泛整合。此外，考虑到国内对粗棕榈油的高需求和大量可用的自然资源，很少有墨西哥机构参与在Web of Science (WOS)上注册的关于这一主题的出版物。本研究提出了一种快速、探索性和可靠的工具来评估任何农业生产系统的农艺效益。

期刊介绍： Cahiers Agricultures is a - mainly - French language scientific journal on world farming systems, how they are changing and their role in society. It is aimed at all those – researchers, field workers, teachers – who are interested in a holistic reflection on the agricultural world. Cahiers Agricultures gives priority to research on agriculture as implemented by farmers, that has meaning for citizens in countries in the North and South, as opposed to research work conducted in a controlled environment (laboratory, research center, etc.). Research of this type is often multidisciplinary and takes into account the knowledge and know-how of the different stakeholders. The different parties are also actively involved in research, alongside the scientists. In this way, the journal stimulates debate on issues linked to society, such as the impact of using water and nitrogen fertilisers, peri-urban farming, fish farming, livestock production in rural areas, food security, etc.
