    Este estudio utiliza el Análisis de Envolventes de Datos para medir el desempeño medioambiental agrícola de América Latina y el Caribe; con suposición de natural y managerial disposability, y rendimientos a escala y daños a escala; durante 2012. Se utilizan siete variables: alimentación animal, fertilizantes, reserva de capital, mano de obra, tierra, valor de la producción agrícola y emisiones agrícolas (CO2eq). Los resultados muestran que las Bahamas, Brasil, Chile, Costa Rica y México alcanzaron el máximo nivel de eficiencia en todas las mediciones de eficiencia. Estos países presentan el mejor desempeño en comparación con el resto de países evaluados.

    This study uses the Data Envelopment Analysis to measure the agricultural environmental performance under the assumption of natural and managerial disposability, but also evaluates the Returns to Scale and Damages to Scale in Latin America and the Caribbean during 2012. Seven agricultural variables are analyzed: animal feed, fertilizers, capital stock, labor, land, value of the gross agricultural production and agricultural emissions (CO2eq). The results found that the Bahamas, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica and Mexico attained the maximum efficiency level in all efficiency measurements. These countries present the best performances compared with the other countries evaluated.
