AFETLER BAĞLAMINDA GIDA GÜVENSİZLİĞİ: KÜRESEL ARAŞTIRMA TRENDLERİNİN BİBLİYOMETRİK ANALİZİ (2011–2025)

Öz

Bu çalışma, afetler bağlamında gıda güvencesizliği üzerine yürütülen küresel araştırmaları kapsamlı bir bibliyometrik analiz yöntemiyle incelemekte ve bilgi üretim süreçlerini, tematik eğilimleri ile uluslararası işbirliği ağlarını ortaya koymaktadır. Web of Science Core Collection veritabanından elde edilen 2011–2025 yılları arasında yayımlanmış 459 makale, Bibliometrix yazılımı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular, özellikle COVID-19 pandemisinin etkisiyle 2019 sonrasında yayın sayısında belirgin bir artış olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu durum, kriz dönemlerinde gıda sistemlerinin ve tedarik zincirlerinin ne kadar kırılgan olduğunu gözler önüne sermektedir. Analiz sonuçlarına göre, yayınların önemli bir kısmı ABD, Güney Afrika ve Avustralya gibi gelişmiş ülkelerden çıkarken, afetlerden en çok etkilenen düşük ve orta gelirli bölgelerdeki araştırmaların sınırlı kaldığı tespit edilmiştir. Anahtar kelime analizleri, afet kaynaklı gıda güvencesizliğinin iklim değişikliği, tarımsal sürdürülebilirlik, yoksulluk ve sağlık ile güçlü bir şekilde ilişkili olduğunu göstermektedir. En sık kullanılan kavramlar arasında “iklim değişikliği,” “güvencesizlik” ve “risk” öne çıkmaktadır. Ancak uluslararası işbirliği ağları incelendiğinde, bilimsel üretimin belirli ülkeler ve kurumlar etrafında yoğunlaştığı, küresel araştırma ağlarının ise yeterince kapsayıcı olmadığı anlaşılmaktadır. Sonuç olarak, afet dönemlerinde gıda güvencesizliğinin yalnızca beslenme veya sağlık sorunu olmadığı, aynı zamanda çevresel bozulma, tarımsal kırılganlık ve sosyoekonomik dayanıklılık ile doğrudan bağlantılı olduğu ortaya konmuştur. Çalışma, afet koşullarında gıda güvencesizliğiyle mücadele için iklim uyumlu tarım politikaları, sürdürülebilir gıda sistemleri ve kırılgan gruplar için adil gıda erişimini önceleyen bütüncül politikaların geliştirilmesi gerektiğini vurgulamaktadır. Ayrıca, bilimsel üretimdeki boşlukların giderilmesi için daha kapsayıcı işbirliklerine ve disiplinlerarası yaklaşımlara ihtiyaç duyulduğu belirtilmektedir.

FOOD INSECURITY IN THE CONTEXT OF DISASTERS: A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF GLOBAL RESEARCH TRENDS (2011–2025) *

Öz

This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of global research on food insecurity in the context of disasters, focusing on knowledge production, thematic trends, and international collaboration networks. Using the Web of Science Core Collection, 459 articles published between 2011 and 2025 were analyzed with Bibliometrix software. The results reveal a substantial increase in publications after 2019, largely driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, which highlighted the fragility of food systems and supply chains during crises. Developed countries, particularly the United States, South Africa, and Australia, dominate the field in terms of publication output, while disaster-related food insecurity in low- and middle-income regions remains underrepresented despite being the most vulnerable. Keyword analysis demonstrates that disaster-related food insecurity is strongly interlinked with climate change, agricultural sustainability, poverty, and health, illustrating its multidimensional nature. The most frequently used terms include “climate change,” “insecurity,” and “risk,” underscoring the intersection of environmental and social vulnerabilities. Collaboration networks, however, reveal structural imbalances, as scientific production is concentrated in specific institutions and countries, limiting the inclusiveness of global research. Citation analysis indicates that highly cited works emphasize the intersection of food insecurity with environmental change, urban vulnerability, and public health outcomes. Findings suggest that disaster-related food insecurity extends beyond nutrition and health to encompass environmental degradation, agricultural fragility, and socio-economic resilience. This study concludes that disaster-related food insecurity should be addressed through cross-sectoral policies integrating climate-adaptive agriculture, sustainable food systems, and equitable access to resources, especially for marginalized populations. By mapping scientific trends and identifying research gaps, the study contributes to shaping future research agendas and guiding policy development in the field of food security under disaster conditions.
