Dairy farming is a crucial sector in terms of food security, economic development, and environmental sustainability. However, factors such as climate change, animal welfare, economic pressures, and environmental issues threaten the sustainability of the sector. This study aimed to analyze academic publications on sustainability in dairy farming using bibliometric analysis to determine research trends and gaps in the literature. In this study, 410 articles published between 1992 and 2025 in the Web of Science database were analyzed to identify scientific production trends, leading authors, journals, institutions, and countries in the field of dairy farming sustainability. The analysis results indicate a significant increase in the number of publications since 2017, with an annual growth rate of 6.07%, demonstrating the rising scientific output in this area. Keywords such as "sustainability," "dairy farming," and "economic sustainability" stand out, while Agricultural Systems and the Journal of Cleaner Production are among the leading journals in terms of citations and publications. The findings show that scientific production is geographically concentrated in countries such as the United States, Italy, and the Netherlands. The study reveals that knowledge gaps and regional disparities in the field may present potential research topics for future studies.
