BOOSTING AGRICULTURAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP FOR SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC GROWTH

Agriculture has always been a major component of many economies, especially in underdeveloped countries. However, the manufacturing sector continues to face issues like ineffectiveness, low production, and little innovation. By addressing important infrastructure gaps and introducing innovative methods like vertical farming and aquaponics, agricultural entrepreneurship provides a revolutionary option. This study examines these modern methods, how they are applied, and how they affect the optimization of resources and economic empowerment. Along with offering practical answers, it also looks at problems including talent gaps, insufficient infrastructure, and resource shortages. The study comes to the conclusion that by fostering cooperation and putting creative ideas into practice, agricultural entrepreneurship can promote sustained economic growth. This study evaluated modern agriculture techniques like aquaponics and vertical farming using a comparative methodology. The research assessed these approaches' scalability, cost-effectiveness, and resource optimization by contrasting them with conventional methodologies. Thematic analysis of the literature and interview data addressed concerns such as infrastructure challenges and talent gaps while emphasizing economic empowerment.
