Abstract

Family farmers in general fall into the most vulnerable communities in developing countries, the main challenge faced is economic dominance. To this end, in recent decades a set of public policies have been outlined for family farming, with emphasis on institutional markets for food and nutritional security programs. The research method is classified as exploratory and descriptive, characterized as a bibliometric study with a quantitative approach. The database consulted was the Web of Science, between 1978 and 2023. The bibliometric analysis allowed us to visualize the indicators, analyze, characterize and evaluate the process of scientific production about institutional markets. The analysis of the previous results exposes the scientific production, the relevance of the authors, identification of relevant themes and hot topics related to the institutional market and family farming. It is concluded that the theme of analysis gained relevance from the 1990s onwards, showing the relevance that the theme took on in academia.
