Precision agriculture, based on advanced technologies such as remote sensing and big data
analysis, has revolutionized agricultural management, allowing data-based decisions. In the case of sesame
(Sesamum indicum L.), known for its adaptability to climate change and high economic value, metadata
stands out as strategic. They organized and described information obtained by sensors, drones and
geoprocessing systems, facilitating the analysis of essential variables such as supervision, fertilization and
supervision. This study seeks to explore the role of metadata in optimizing sustainable sesame
management, focusing on the efficient use of resources and the reduction of environmental impacts. The
methodology included scientometric analyzes of 66 articles published between 2019 and 2024, extracted
from the Web of Science and Scopus databases and processed in the RStudio software with the Bibliometrix
package. The results highlight significant advances in the use of emerging technologies to increase the
resilience and productivity of this crop, responding to growing demands for traceable and sustainable
products. It is concluded that sesame is strategic for food security and agricultural sustainability, especially
in semi-arid regions. The integration of metadata with innovative technologies, improvements in
management, promoting approved agricultural practices to global demands.
