This study presents a bibliometric analysis of research on sustainable performance in agriculture, based on 112 peer-reviewed articles published between 2007 and July 2025 in the Web of Science. Drawing on VOSviewer and Scimago Graphica, the analysis examines publication trends, countries, keyword co-occurrence, and future research directions. The results reveal steady growth in publication output since 2017, with citation activity peaking in 2024. China, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Italy emerge as the top contributing countries. Keyword co- occurrence analysis uncovers four major thematic clusters: institutional frameworks, systems-based assessment tools, farm-level environmental strategies, and community-driven sustainability practices. The appearance of recent keywords such as industry 4.0, multi-criteria decision-making, and sustainable productivity signals a shift toward digital and data-informed approaches. Future research should build on these findings by integrating advanced technologies, broadening regional participation, and developing context-sensitive assessment models to further advance sustainable agricultural systems.
