Abstract: Using 592 articles from the Web of Science core database from 2004 to 2022 as samples, the CiteSpace bibliometric software was used to visually analyze international research hotspots and trends in digital agriculture. The results indicated that the international research on digital agriculture was showing a sustained growth trend, and after experiencing a period of theoretical exploration and stable development, it was in a period of rapid outbreak;international research focused on the theory, methods, policies, and practical applications of digital agriculture, while its main focus was still on developed countries in Europe and America, led by the United States. Although China had a large number of publications, its international academic influence needed to be improved;the research focus had shifted from the focus on big data and the impact of artificial intelligence on digital agriculture, to the innovation of digital agriculture technology, the performance of digital agriculture IoT devices, and the construction and maintenance of digital agriculture supply chain platforms;the forefront of digital agriculture research included the combination of big data analysis technology and GIS technology to process agricultural monitoring data, agricultural technological innovation to promote green development of agriculture, and artificial intelligence methods to support agricultural decision-making systems. In addition, the problems existing in the development of digital agriculture were sorted out, and the prospects for the development of digital agriculture were looked forward to.
