Abstract

The agricultural sector’s performance is essential for Brazilian economic performance. However, it requires attention to the inevitable environmental counterpart caused by the expansion of land use instead of productive efficiency. Realizing the relevance of agriculture to the Brazilian economy and recognizing the importance of promoting sustainable growth, this research assesses how the levels of counties’ agricultural efficiency are related to deforestation in the Brazilian Legal Amazon. For that purpose, Data Envelopment Analysis and spatial econometrics were used. The results suggest that counties with a low level of efficiency contribute to the increase in deforestation, while the most efficient ones contribute to the reduction in deforested areas.
