Abstract

Tax policies constitute relevant institutional mechanisms for guiding agricultural systems toward environmentally sustainable production models. In this context, this study aimed to synthesize recent evidence on tax incentives and agri-environmental mechanisms associated with the adoption of agroecological practices in Amazonian territories. To this end, a structured narrative review was conducted using documents published between 2020 and 2025, retrieved from Scopus, Web of Science, and specialized institutional repositories. The results identified five key conditions for the effectiveness of these instruments: verifiable environmental conditionality, territorial governance, technical assistance, redistributive targeting, and financial sustainability. It is concluded that tax incentives are more effective when articulated with environmental monitoring systems, technical extension services, traceability mechanisms, and regulatory frameworks aimed at controlling land-use change. Consequently, their contribution to Amazonian sustainability depends less on the tax reduction itself and more on their integration with coherent environmental, productive, and territorial policies.
