As a sphere of policy and operational practice we see of Indonesia a yawning gap between aspirations and application to reduce environmental footprint from agriculture activities. In relation to aspirations we are seeing the emergence of national ‘green growth’ and ‘green agriculture’ strategies.This study tried to understand the factors that may contribute to the gap between green agriculture aspiration and its progress on the ground in Indonesia by conducting Q-methodology analysis. This method is complemented by the appliance of capacity assessment survey to get some insights of people perception on some primary capacities of the stakeholders to formulate agro-environmental policy, implement the policy, and perform compliance assurance function, which are entailed for an effective implementation of various mechanisms, instruments, and policies for ‘green agriculture’.
