Abstract

The present article, classified as theoretical–conceptual applied, of descriptive nature, aims to mapping and analyze, through scientometry, the international scientific production that addresses the integration between public policies for family agriculture production and food and nutrition security in the period from January 1990 until the present day. Therefore, a portfolio survey was carried out through the search system of the Web of Science, Scopus and Science Direct databases, comprising the terms “Food and Nutrition Security”, “Public Policy” and “Family Agricult*”, combined in pairs, following the Methodi Ordinatio research methodology. Then, a systematic analysis was performed to identify the behavior of the publications related to the theme over these almost 30 years. To explore the issue, we analyzed nine variables of interest. It was noticed that the subject is of interest to several areas of study, besides a global concern, and the studies developed in Brazil are highlighted in the international scenario. This study contributes as a justification for the integration between public policies of food and nutrition security and family agriculture production to be strengthened, both in the formulation of government strategies, as well as in social and academic research, by applying a systematic preparation process of a scientific portfolio.
