Abstract: This study presents a bibliometric analysis of research trends and knowledge gaps in the area of food security and international trade. The purpose of this study is to identify the effect of international trade on food security. We conducted a comprehensive review of academic literature published between 2000 and 2022 using the Scopus database. The findings suggest that research on food security and international trade has grown substantially, with a particular focus on issues related to trade liberalization, agricultural productivity, and food aid. However, there are several areas where further research is needed, including the impact of trade agreements on food security, the role of small-scale farmers in global food systems, and the effects of climate change on food security. Furthermore, trade policies also can give negative impact to the domestic production and also can led to disruptions in the global food supply chain, which will affect food prices. This study contributes to a better understanding of the research trends and knowledge gaps in the field of food security and international trade and can inform future research and policy discussions on this important topic. This study adds value to the existing literature by highlighting areas for further research, ultimately contributing to a better understanding of how international trade policies and agreements can impact food security outcomes.
