Enabling Agri-entrepreneurship and Innovation Empirical Evidence and Solutions for Conflict Regions and Transitioning Economies

This book addresses agri-entrepreneurship in conflict and transitional regions, focusing on small agri-business and farms within communities where individuals face conflicts which impact upon their business growth cycle and economic security. Research information on methods to enable entrepreneurship in conflict regions is lacking, meaning that programmes are developed for non-agricultural, non-conflict regions.

The result is sub-optimal programme design and inefficient use of resources. A product of a collaboration of experts in agri-business, agricultural marketing, and international development, this book is a critical resource to those involved in promoting entrepreneurship in conflict areas.
