Abstract: 【Objective】The system presents research dynamics,hot topic evolution,and development trends in innovation-driven agricultural development.【Methods】Using the CNKI database and CiteSpace 6.2 R4 econometric analysis software,a visual knowledge graph analysis was conducted on the research dynamics,hot topic evolution,and development trends in innovation-driven agricultural development in China From January 17,2001 to July 15,2023.【Results】From 2001 to 2023,research on innovation-driven agricultural development in China has progressed through three stages：the embryonic stage,rapid growth stage,and high-quality development stage. The top 5 disciplines in terms of number of publications were agricultural economy,economic system reform,agricultural basic science,scientific research management,and information economy,reflecting the emerging interdisciplinary integration of innovation-driven agricultural development research. The author with the highest number of publications JIANG Changyun,with 6 articles. Government departments,universities,and research institutes were the main contributors to research publications on innovation-driven agricultural development. While there was a certain degree of cooperation among authors and institutions,the cooperation was relatively loose. The most frequently occurring keywords was innovation-driven,with a frequency of 87. #0 innovation-driven was the cluster with the most citations in innovation-driven agricultural development research. From the perspective of keywords emergence,the top five keywords with the strongest emergence were：rural revitalization（2.44）,smart agriculture（1.92）,innovation-driven（1.91）,industrialization（1.86）,and transformation and upgrading（1.76）. From 2001 to 2023,#0 innovation-driven had been the most popular and cross-disciplinary research topic.【Conclusion】Innovation-driven,scientific and technological innovation,No. 1 central document,and modern agriculture are currently the research hotspots in innovation-driven agricultural development. Research on rural revitalization,smart agriculture,and transformation and upgrading needs to be deepened,and future trends will focus on industrial integration,digital agriculture,and agricultural digitization research.

Key words: Innovation driven, Agricultural development, Research trends, Evolution of hotspots, Development trend
