Abstract
Agricultural entrepreneurship has emerged as a key driver of sustainable rural development, economic empowerment, and social inclusion. This chapter examines the roles of innovation, inclusion, and partnership in fostering agri-entrepreneurship ecosystems that improve productivity, market access, and environmental sustainability. It highlights women-led enterprises, digital technologies, skill development programs, and public-private collaborations as critical elements for inclusive growth. Drawing on case studies from India and global practices, this chapter illustrates successful strategies in agri-startups, green business models, and technologydriven agriculture. Policy recommendations and future directions are provided to strengthen rural livelihoods, enhance resilience, and support sustainable, inclusive growth in agriculture-based enterprises.
