Abstract

 Issues of food supply, agriculture and sustainability are emerging issues in science at the global level. The present study sought to analyze the scientific production by means of a survey of data that occurred from the research in the databases of Web of Science and Scopus, which allowed a textual search using the terms: Topic: (food security) AND Topic: (smart farming) AND Topic: (sust *). A total of 28 articles were selected to analyze the literature on food security as well as the contributions of intelligent agriculture and sustainability. From the selection of the articles we tried to make a quantitative analysis offered by the mentioned documents. Studies have generally been concerned about environmental impacts, ie environmental degradation, through increased greenhouse gas emissions, climate change, degradation of hydrographic resources and soil. Above all, these studies seek to establish strategies to mitigate these impacts, in order to contribute to the reduction of these environmental consequences and to provide an improvement in the food supply, from the intelligent agriculture to the development of sustainable practices and systems
