It transcends the conventional approach to understanding productivity using factors of production. It employs the role of formal and informal institutions that govern transactions, property rights and accumulation among farm-holder communities, and seeks to understand agricultural productivity using both new and conventional variables, using a combined ethnographic and empirical methodology. The book engages with the debate on the market and non-market forces driving agrarian transition and advances that the agrarian transition be understood in relation to the wider (non-agrarian) economic development in society, as political settlement and primitive accumulation permit (inhibit) property rights being re-allocated in growth-enhancing directions. It also demonstrates that the existing process of accumulation prevents sustainable agriculture because of market failures caused by weak institutions, resulting in arrested productivity growth. 606 $aHorticulture 606 $aScience 610 $aAgricultural industries 610 $aSustainable agriculture 610 $aBusiness & economics 610 $aTechnology & engineering 615 0$aHorticulture. 615 0$aScience 676 $a338.16091724 700 $aTitumir$b Rashed A.
