| 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.
