At the same time, there are further challenges for the agrifood sector from increasing food demand due to projected population growth and dietary shifts that include more animal protein. Furthermore, university agribusiness education faces challenges where the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the shift to digital learning, prompting a reassessment of teaching methods. This study aims to evaluate existing literature on agribusiness education, identifying key themes and topics for future research. It marks the first systematic review of the agribusiness education literature. Using bibliometric and co-occurrence analysis, the study identifies key themes in agribusiness education literature. Initial data from the Web of Science yielded 138 publications; however, further screening identified 17 specifically addressing university agribusiness education. The VOSviewer network visualization software was used to analyse and present results. The findings revealed a significant lack of scholarly output in the area of university agribusiness education, with no significant increase in publications over time. The study evaluates the limited literature on agribusiness education, emphasizing the need for more scholarly attention. Key themes identified in the literature include entrepreneurship, curriculum flexibility, innovative teaching methods, and gender issues. The study’s implications for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and academic institutions highlighted the need to collaborate to reshape agribusiness education. Furthermore, evidence-based approaches to agribusiness education are needed to effectively prepare graduates for the evolving challenges. The study highlights the crucial role of agribusiness education research for guiding curriculum development and ensuring graduates possess technical and soft skills essential for future leadership in the sector.bibliometric analysisco-occurrence analysiscurriculum developmentdigital learningindustry demandsteaching methodsagribusiness educationConference Contribution - unpublished
