Abstract: This work aims to analyze the externalities generated by agriculture and the public policies related to the problem in the State of Goiás. For this, a literature review on agriculture in the State, the externalities to the environment and society, and the policies and solutions for the control of the same was made. The main negative externalitites arising from agriculture in the State of Goiás are the rampant deflorestation to create pastures and crops, the erosion caused by mismanagement of soil, the contamination of water resources and living beings by pesticides, and the increasing inequality arising from the growth of agribusiness. The current policies are, mostly, command and control, and due to lack of supervision and high deployment costs, are not effective in the control of externalities.
