A documentary review was conducted on producing and publishing research papers studying the variable Food Security and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The bibliometric analysis proposed in this document was to know the main characteristics of the volume of publications registered in the Scopus database during 2017-2021, identifying 361 publications. The information provided by the said platform was organized employing tables and figures categorizing the information by Year of Publication, Country of Origin, Area of Knowledge and Type of Publication. Once these characteristics were described, a qualitative analysis was used to refer to the position of different authors on the proposed topic. Among the main findings of this research, it is found that the United States, with 75 publications, was the country with the highest scientific production registered in the name of authors affiliated with institutions of that country. The area of knowledge that made the greatest contribution to the construction of bibliographic material related to the study of food security policies aligned with the SDGs was Environmental Sciences, with 184 published documents, and the type of publication that was most used during the period mentioned above was the journal article, which represents 62% of the total scientific production.
