摘要

Vermicomposting has gained significant attention in recent decades, evolving into a multidisciplinary field that offers effective solutions to the ecological challenges posed by modern waste management techniques, its applications in environmentally friendly farming methods, and its essential role in international initiatives to promote environmental sustainability. Data was collected from the Scopus database and analysed by R studio and VOS viewer tool. The growing interest in vermicomposting around the world is illustrated by this bibliometric analysis of 2094 research articles from 1980 to 2024. India is the country with the most publications based on authors. China’s Lanzhou Jiao Tong University has the greatest affiliation with research documents, and Bradford’s law designated eight journals as essential sources, with Bioresource Technology being the most favoured journal in terms of citations and articles. Notable writers, such as Jorge Dominguez of the University of Vigo in Spain, have made significant contributions; India is also at the forefront of global cooperation. Based on keyword analysis and research areas study emphasises the application of vermicomposting has evolved from focusing on waste management and organic fertilizer production to addressing broader environmental issues such as climate change, circular economy, and sustainability. The focus shifted from solid waste and wastewater treatment to industrial sludge, biochar, and sustainable agriculture. Recent research has focused on soil health, mitigating climate change, and bio-based fertilizers. With vermicomposting’s transdisciplinary impact on sustainability and resource recovery, key study fields today include composting technology, organic waste management, bioremediation, microbiology, and integrating vermicomposting into models of the circular economy and renewable energy are growing concerns. This review article summarizes current research trends, gaps, and future recommendations on vermicomposting. It aims to support researchers, NGOs, FPOs, and policymakers in advancing research and facilitating its implementation in vermicomposting.
