Objective:

Provides a review and a balance of the social research produced in the last decade where interests and approaches are examined from which the country's social scientists have addressed the issue, which had not been done.

Methodology:

A corpus of articles from Web of Science and Scopus was generated.

Results:

It was found that goat farming has been studied mainly from the socioeconomic approach, followed by the management of technology and innovation and few studies with a critical approach.

Limitations:

The study is focused solely on national academic production.

Conclusions:

Goat farming is far apart from social research where the existing literature focuses on productive aspects and less on producing families, which contributes to the problems of these producers to remain outside the public debate.
