International Journal of Agriculture Extension and Social Development

Agricultural extension systems are crucial for rural development, empowering farmers, promoting sustainable practices, and enabling knowledge sharing. This study presents a bibliometric analysis of research from 2019-2024, based on 221 refined documents from an initial 678. Sixty primary sources formed the core analysis, revealing a 22.47% annual growth rate and an average citation rate of 8.533 per document. A total of 814 authors, with 4.7 authors per document and nine single-authored papers, highlight strong collaboration. Thematic diversity is evident with 642 keywords, covering stakeholder engagement, digital tools, capacity building, and policy. International collaboration accounts for 35.71% of papers, emphasizing global challenges like food security and climate adaptation. Trends show increased use of mobile services and AI in extension. Yet, gaps remain in addressing local issues, especially in resource-poor areas. Future research should focus on contextual solutions, gender inclusion, and scalable innovations to ensure equitable and sustainable agricultural extension systems.
