<p>The survey of the structure of farms is carried out by all the member states of the European Union, with agricultural holding as the statistical unit of measure.

Thus, following the application of the bibliometric analysis, it can be argued that this sector has been given considerable interest, as evidenced by the high number of articles published recently, regarding the analysis of agricultural holdings. By querying the mentioned database, 26,804 scientific articles were found after the phrase “agricultural farms”.
