The neoclassical economic framework provides the main theoretical building blocks used in the training of agricultural economists. Over time, there has been a growing realisation of deficiencies in this framework, related to its treatment of technology, ecology, history, and the institutional and cultural activities that have an impact on economic activities. All of these dimensions determine the specific context or local setting for economic activity whether in (1) business (the farm or the agribusiness); (2) government; (3) the voluntary sector; (4) the informal, non-monetarised sector or family sector; or (5) the natural resources or environmental sector. Meanwhile the economics and agricultural economics professions have been paying increasing attention to institutional issues, and have developed strong concepts and analytical tools to do so. In this process, it has become evident that these concepts and tools are particularly relevant to the problems of agricultural development in developing countries1. It has therefore become necessary to expand the basic building blocks of agricultural economics theory in order to be more eclectic and more contextual. Account must be taken of the different dimensions by relaxing some of the restrictive assumptions of the neoclassical foundation, and by acknowledging that economic activities span across the five sectors.
