Abstract

Sorghum is a crucial crop for sustainable agriculture due to its drought resistance, low carbon footprint, and diverse applications in food, feed, and bioenergy. However, understanding the impact of climate change on sorghum production is essential for ensuring its future sustainability. This study conducts a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of scientific publications related to sorghum and climate change using the Web of Science (WoS) database, covering the period from 1984 to 2024. A total of 1053 relevant papers were analyzed, revealing an average annual growth rate of 12.73% and an average citation count of 32.02 per document. Most of the publications (83.5%) were research articles, while 9.7% were review papers. Among the contributing researchers, Prasad PVV emerged as the most productive author based on an h‐index of 13, whereas the United States was identified as the most influential country, contributing 235 documents and 13,750 citations. Keyword clustering analysis identified five major research themes, including sustainable energy and environmental impacts, climate resilience, socioeconomic effects of climate change, and key crops. The findings of this study offer valuable scientific insights to guide future research and policymaking on climate change and sorghum sustainability.
