Based on the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database, this study employs CiteSpace software to conduct visualization and bibliometric analysis of 756 research papers related to the “Grand Food Concept” published between 2012 and 2025. It systematically examines publication trends, core authors, research institutions, keyword clusters, and the evolution of research hotspots within this field. Findings reveal that publication volume on China’s Grand Food Concept has consistently increased, with research predominantly led by agricultural universities and research institutions, though collaboration among authors and institutions remains relatively loose. Further analysis indicates that studies primarily focus on policy interpretation and theoretical development, with core hotspots centered on four themes: the Grand Food Concept and food security, diversified food supply, building an agricultural powerhouse, and rural revitalization. Based on these findings, this paper proposes strengthening systematic thinking, promoting interdisciplinary collaboration, and integrating diverse research methodologies to advance the theoretical depth and practical application of China’s new era food system perspective.
