This study provides an overview of the concept of green agriculture,
policies and strategies related to the concept, instruments commonly
used, and conditions in the field. This study aims to answer the
following questions: What are the main drivers and negative impacts
on environmental degradation associated with commercial
agriculture? What are the main characteristics of government
strategies and policies related to green agriculture? What are the
mechanisms, instruments and regulations that have been and are
being implemented by the government and the private sector to
achieve sustainable agriculture? What are the strengths and
weaknesses of existing capacities to implement green agriculture?
And finally, what are the main factors that contribute to the gap
between aspirations and application in the field? The discussion
focused on five main commodities based on competitiveness and their
