Popis: PurposeThis paper aims to analyse through a bibliometric study the academic literature that relates entrepreneurship to foods.Design/methodology/approachA database of 1,300 papers published in the ISI Web of Science was generated. The bibliometric techniques allowed us to describe scientific literature evolution, most productive authors, institutions and countries, most relevant sources and documents, trend topics and social structure.FindingsThe results illustrate an upward trend, more accentuated in the last four years, in publishing papers relating entrepreneurship to the food industry.Originality/valueThis research is novel because although numerous articles relate the food industry to entrepreneurship, no bibliometric articles that analyse the scientific production that relates both terms have been found in the literature.
