Conteúdo:	The consolidation of sustainable finance taxonomies within financial systems marks a critical juncture for global agriculture. This article examines the Brazilian Sustainable Taxonomy (BST) and argues that its effectiveness depends on a design that balances environmental ambition with sectoral realities, avoiding unintended penalties for compliant producers. The analysis shows that broad exclusion criteria—such as prohibiting activities based on legally permitted deforestation or generic toxicological classifications—can be counterproductive. Such approaches risk creating regulatory distortions and undermining practices like integrated pest management. A shift toward a performance-based, incentive driven model is therefore warranted. Empirical evidence supports the use of percentile-based thresholds (e.g., P85, P90) applied to the Environmental Impact Quotient (EIQ) to identify and restrict high-risk inputs more precisely. In parallel, recognizing Legal Reserve (LR) surpluses as assets eligible for financial compensation would better align conservation incentives with producer behavior. This dual-frontier approach, combined with robust digital Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) systems, enables a continuous rather than binary pathway to sustainability. A scientifically grounded and interoperable taxonomy can thus evolve from a classification framework into an operational green finance architecture, positioning Brazilian agriculture to reconcile productivity with climate commitments and biodiversity conservation.
