In this context, this article aims to measure the impact of the Low-Carbon Agriculture Program (Programa ABC) on the gross agricultural production value per greenhouse gas emission in Brazil. Additionally, it seeks to examine the level of credit distribution provided by this instrument across different Brazilian regions. The synthetic control method was employed for this purpose. The results showed that the impact of the ABC Program, measured by the gap between the treated unit (Brazil) and its synthetic control (Argentina, Australia, Canada, China, the United States, India, Indonesia, Mexico, and Thailand), during the intervention period (2010–2019), exhibited a positive effect on the analyzed indicator. It is evident that there was a concentration of rural credit allocation in the Center-West and Southeast regions, which received around 31.37% and 29.65%, respectively. In summary, climate policy design should prioritize farmers’ technical training and the dissemination of conservation, mitigation, and adaptation practices in regions that are most vulnerable to climate impacts.

Longitudinal data from the Annual Social Information Report (RAIS) were used for the period between 2003 and 2019. To this end, the model used to assess the impacts of the Normative Instruction was the DiD model with scaled adoption, using the Callaway and Sant’Anna estimator (2021). The analysis of results was performed according to different cutoffs (100, 201, 501, and 1001 employees), allowing for the measurement of heterogeneous effects according to firm size. Regarding the results for the different cutoffs, it can be stated that Normative Instruction No. 98/2012 generated results that were quite sensitive to company size. The extreme cutoffs, 100 and 1001, showed positive and statistically significant effects, with cutoff 1001 showing the best levels. For the intermediate cutoffs, 201 and 501, the impacts were more inconsistent and mostly statistically insignificant. Therefore, in this context, it can be stated that the effect of Normative Instruction No. 98/2012 depended above all on the structural and organizational capacity of the firms, and on how susceptible these firms are to inspection. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of Normative Instruction No. 98/2012 in the labor market for people with disabilities.

Autor(es): Frota, Marisa Guilherme da; Lemos, José de Jesus de Sousa; Ozaki, Vitor Augusto; Duarte, Gislaine Vieira Abstract: This study sought to evaluate the recovery capacity of food crops (rice, beans, cassava, and corn) in the MATOPIBA region. The cultivation of rice, beans, and cassava largely originates from family farming, which plays a crucial role in feeding the population and supplying the local market. Additionally, it is essential for job creation, income generation, and, most importantly, maintaining food security. To assess the recovery capacity of these crops, an Agricultural Resilience Index was con-structed for each crop and state during the period from 2002 to 2021. The results show that the states of Maranhão and Bahia exhibited a downward trend in resilience for the cultivation of rice, beans, and cassava. The state of Tocantins stands out as the only state showing an upward trend in recovery capacity for all crops. Regarding corn and soybean cultivation across the four states, a growing trend in recovery capacity was observed.

Although this sector is recognized as strategic, studies evaluating its eco-efficiency remain scarce. In this context, this dissertation aimed to analyze the eco-efficiency of honey production across Brazilian municipalities in 2017, investigating the influence of environmental and socioeconomic variables. The methodology was based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), using an output oriented Slacks-Based Measure (SBM) model, followed by a Fractional Logit regression to analyze its determinants. The results revealed a scenario of profound disparity and low performance: the national average eco-efficiency was only 0.1061, with 96.71% of municipalities concentrated in the low eco-efficiency range. Only 0.54% of the localities reached the eco-efficiency frontier. Econometric modeling indicated that precipitation negatively impacts the activity. Contrary to theoretical expectations, land use variables, specifically pasture and soybeans, did not show a generalized effect on efficiency across the sample, while the presence of corn proved marginally positive only for lower-performing producers. A strong dual effect of temperature is also noteworthy, as rising temperatures harmed municipalities with low eco-efficiency but favored the most eco-efficient ones. In conclusion, Brazilian beekeeping operates largely below its sustainable potential. It does not adequately convert available productive and environmental resources into economic and ecological outcomes, despite the country's diverse biomes, extensive areas suitable for beekeeping, and a high number of beehives. Therefore, Brazilian beekeeping has the potential to generate significant economic and environmental value using its current base of natural and technological resources.
