The paper reviews 200 papers regarding environmentally adjusted analysis of agricultural efficiency
found in the Scopus database. Based on the PRISMA method the scope of the review was limited to
papers where efficiency is assessed with data envelopment analysis (DEA) or stochastic frontier analysis
(SFA). The aim of this paper is to identify how efficiency analysis can be enhanced to take into
account environmental aspects of agricultural production and indicate the research trends and gaps.
Regarding the trends, most of the studies refer to agriculture in Europe, with a noticeable increasing
trend in Asia. The production directions under research mainly include crops or milk production, usually
in the farm scale. It can also be observed that a typical economic efficiency model is developed
to include new environmentally detrimental inputs or undesirable outputs, such as fertilizing, climate
impact, crop protection, water footprint, and energy usage. The most common determinants were
farmers features, scale of production, intensification, agricultural practices, quality of the production
environment, macroeconomic environment, specialization, environmental practices, and farm
features. The following research gaps were identified. The case studies of Africa and North America
are limited, like those at the field and local levels as well as those related to horticultural and animal
production other than milk production. The SFA approaches are underdeveloped in comparison with DEA, like approaches other than additional inputs/outputs. In particular, the by-production approach
seems promising. Limited attention has been paid to soil condition, biodiversity, waste generation
in agriculture, and positive externalities provided by the agriculture. An interesting and less
investigated area in terms of performance determinants remain farmers’ behavioral features.
