A bibliometric analysis of cleaner production in the floriculture sector in Colombia over the last 15 years
Main Article Content
Abstract
The production and export of cut flowers is one of the main products of the agricultural sector in Colombia with 4,000 ha of production and an annual growth in exports, as well as the increasing requirements of the international market, therefore it is of great importance to achieve a suitable product through the improvement of processes and the incorporation of cleaner production techniques. The objective of this work is to analyze the scientific production in Colombia in relation to the rest of the world in the period 2005-2019, using the Scopus database filtering with the keywords "cut Flowers" "environmental" and "Colombia". The analysis was carried out using the VOSviewer® tool that allows observing the temporal trend of publications and the co-occurrence of keywords that emphasize sustainability and the implementation of good practices in the sector. The results of the search showed that Colombia has minimal participation in global access publications, so greater participation is required from academia and funded projects involving small producers so that they have access to research that promotes the improvement of their processes and access to new markets.
