Abstract:
      Through retrieving from Web of Science database and with the help of the VOSviewer visual analysis tool, a systematic bibliometric analysis was conducted on the literature in the fields of carbon emission and agriculture. Results showed that research articles had been increasing, and the number of relevant research publications had significantly increased from 142 in 2010 to 910 in 2024. China and Western developed countries were the leaders in this field, while the research output of other developing countries in this regard was relatively low. This paper further reviewed the innovations and application technologies of climate-smart agriculture, covering multiple dimensions such as regenerative agricultural models, intelligent technologies, biotechnology, policy-driven and market-oriented mechanisms, and social participation, and studied the feasibility of these technologies in promoting the low-carbon transformation of agriculture, improving resource utilization efficiency, and enhancing the resilience of the agricultural system. The study deeply analyzed the multiple challenges faced by the development of climate-smart agriculture, such as the difficulty in transforming production methods, the complexity and uncertainty of climate change and its unpredictable impact on food production, as well as socio-economic factors. Finally, prospects were made for the future development of climate-smart agriculture in terms of technological innovation, improvement of laws and regulations and market mechanisms, and enhancement of talent cultivation and public participation. The aim was to promote the modernization transformation of China's agriculture towards a greener, lower-carbon and more efficient, while contributing Chinese wisdom and solutions to the sustainable development of global agriculture.
