Abstract

Political considerations on Colombia are at the center of the global public interest. The political, economic and social challenges that arise since the signing of the peace agreements in Havana are less; at the center of these challenges, agriculture plays a crucial role in the evolution of the country, from an economic position of a nature emerging towards a consolidated one, within the club of good practices of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Research and development in agriculture has proven to be an economic leader in this sector, and in this sense, this article proposes an academic contribution based on a bibliometric analysis focused on the identification of the most influential authors and organizations of this discipline, in regards to the mapping of scientific articles citation networks during the last 18 years, based on the information provided by the Web Of Science database, WoS. Higher education institutions, especially universities, are playing a leading role in the development of research, innovation and knowledge creation in agriculture. This document highlights the importance of that role.
