This paper investigates the optimization of resources and activities in agriculture, focusing on increasing efficiency and productivity through modern technologies and resource management practices. Precision agriculture, crop rotation, and integrated pest management are highlighted as key methods for improving yields while minimizing environmental impacts. Bibliometric analysis was conducted on 1,366 academic publications using tools such as citation analysis and keyword co-occurrence analysis. The results show a significant growth in research on economic optimization in agriculture, with sustainability and technological advancements driving the field. Key areas of focus include resource efficiency, automation, and multi-objective optimization, with water management emerging as a critical topic. The study provides insights into the evolving research landscape, emphasizing the integration of advanced technologies such as AI, IoT, and machine learning in future agricultural practices. Although bibliometric methods offer valuable assessments, the limitations of these approaches, such as citation biases, should be considered when interpreting results. The analysis underscores the growing importance of sustainable agricultural practices and resource optimization in addressing global challenges like climate change and resource scarcity.
