Abstract
<jats:p>Based on a bibliometric analysis of two datasets, the article identifies the structural role of agriculture within the economic security system and traces the evolution of scientific discourse amid global instability. It is established that agriculture forms a structurally separate cluster, while its deepened integration into security research is identified as the newest scientific horizon. The identification of China’s growing role as a global geopolitical player within the research landscape substantiates the need for foreign trade diversification to minimize dependence on prevailing partners. Recognizing agricultural productivity and sustainability as dominant trends highlights the need to improve Ukraine’s economic and food security systems through the integration of sustainable development principles. </jats:p>
