Abstract: The territory, defined as a space forged by history, culture, social relations and structures, is placed in a multiple correlation relation with ecological agriculture. The territorial development is determined, as tendency and content, by the nature of agricultural practices, and, in its turn, generates the favorable frames for using and amplifying the methods specific to ecological agriculture. The aim of this study is to identify, at the subjective ecology level, the meeting points, both for the ecological agriculture and for territorial development. In this paper, the approach to ecological subjectivity was based on Q methodology, which is both a qualitative and statistical research method. The study was conducted in Dornelor Basin, Suceava county, an area characterized by ecological concerns and farming practices, and it identified four major types of subjective configurations built on the basis of the impact of adopting environment-friendly farming practices on the territorial development.
