Abstract

Objective: Agtechs are startups focused on developing technological solutions for agribusiness. Due to its relevance in the literature, this work aims to map scientific production and point out the trends of future studies on Agtechs, seeking to identify the panorama of contribution to the production of sustainable technologies.

Methodology/approach: This study employed a systematic review of the literature, using bibliometric methods and content analysis methods to analyze the state of Agtech research.

Originality/relevance: This study provides important information for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers. The analysis identified that the subject is in full ascension. In addition, it made it possible to map the existing publications in the area and the evolution of the scientific field, as well as to identify emerging themes and present the main trends for future studies in this field of research.

Main results: The results indicate the importance of the topic and its growing popularity in scientific research. In addition, the analysis identified new research streams that deserve further exploration by the scientific community: Agricultural technological radar; Sustainability; Consequences of agriculture 4.0; Rural Development and Organizational arrangement of Agtechs.

Theoretical/methodological contributions: The study of Agtechs has significant implications for theoretical perspectives related to technological innovation. Consequently, a better understanding of the growing interest in the topic among scholars is needed to leverage its implications and possibilities.

Social/managerial contributions: The analysis indicates that Agtechs are key to guiding the agricultural revolution towards global sustainable growth, being considered essential to optimize all food production in a sustainable way.
