Most of researches showed the results of ABC plan are still in great uncertainty, due to lack of an authorized measure tool. Thus, this paper addresses the Brazilian ABC plan, trying to identify the factors affecting the implementation of the low carbon emission in Brazilian agriculture and to look for some potential inspirations for the future policy.
