Abstract: Various models or explanations of structural change in agriculture are presented including the technology model, the human capital model, the financial model, the institutional (structure-conduct-performance) model, and the sociological (family firm) model. Each of these models provides useful insights into the forces that are resulting in changes in the size, specialization, resource ownership and financing, and sectoral linkages in agriculture.
