Agriculture contributes to climate change through greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, while also experiencing the impacts of climate change, such as rising atmospheric temperatures, extreme weather events, and shifts in agricultural practices across different regions. International conventions have established goals for reducing GHG emissions, aiming to mitigate the effects of climate change and promote societal and economic adaptation. In this context, Brazil created the Low Carbon Agriculture Program (ABC Program), which includes the ABC Plan. The ABC Plan outlines agricultural practices that reduce GHG emissions by providing funding for investments and agricultural production costs. Additionally, the National Program for Strengthening Family Farming (Pronaf) offers financing options to enhance family farming resilience to climate change and support sustainable rural development. This study investigates the factors influencing agricultural financing efficiency and productivity changes, specifically their impact on agricultural and forestry production and GHG emissions. To assess technical efficiency, the Gap-based Data Envelopment Analysis method (DEA-SBM) measures both desirable outcomes (agricultural and forestry production value) and undesirable outcomes (GHG emissions). The Malmquist-Luenberger index is then used to analyze eco-efficiency variations in ABC Program and Pronaf ABC+ (Agroecology and Bioeconomic) investments, considering technical, technological, and global changes. Results indicate that the ABC Program was the most efficient among the analyzed credit lines from 2013 to 2018. While sustainability levels fluctuated over time, they remained higher in the last year. Despite this, opportunities exist to reduce GHG production without adversely affecting overall production. The Malmquist-Luenberger index also shows efficiency improvements in Decision Making Units (DMUs) with a slight decrease in technology indices.
