Summary:This study investigated the effect of environmental factors on crop production in BRICS countries. The systematic literature review was used in this study, and the bibliometric analysis was used to find data for this systematic search. The results show that there is a growing interest in the study area. It is indicated that environmental factors are a major variable that affects crop production in the BRICS. This is justified by the number of publications in the subject area, the number of affiliations, funding, co-occurrences, co-citations, keywords, author collaborations, and country collaborations. Thus, it shows that crop production and environmental factors should not be taken as simple matters but as major concerns that require countries to work together. This will help countries share their experiences on how to improve crop production. This study encourages BRICS countries to engage in the goal of improving agricultural production and output. More so, policymakers should design policies that will improve environmental factors so as to ensure sustainable agriculture development. In addition, these countries should adopt climate-smart agriculture to enhance crop production because the study found that climate change and crop production have a positive and significant association.
