Issues and Challenges Faced by Social Entrepreneurs in Sustaining the Agricultural Sector

The need for the welfare of farmers and sustainable agricultural supply chains has become increasingly urgent in a market that often prioritizes profit over environmental and social concerns. Consequently, agricultural entrepreneurship through the role of social entrepreneurs in driving innovation and entrepreneurship initiatives is seen as a viable solution to address social issues among farmers and environmental challenges. In the effort to strengthen the welfare of farmers and the contributions of the agricultural sector, social entrepreneurs encounter various issues and challenges. A qualitative study was conducted with eight informants to explore the issues and challenges faced by social entrepreneurs in advancing their social missions to enhance the well-being of small farmers. The study revealed that a lack of understanding among farmers regarding the role of social entrepreneurs, limited capital and funding resources, insufficient government support, as well as challenges in marketing agricultural products and value chains are the primary obstacles hindering the comprehensive development of social enterprises. Furthermore, the absence of specific policies and regulations, inadequate infrastructure and access to technology, along with the level of knowledge and professional attitudes of social entrepreneurs, also pose significant challenges to the growth of social entrepreneurship. Therefore, stakeholders need to establish a more effective social system through collaborative strengthening in developing sustainable supply chains and value practices. This will enhance management effectiveness and create a conducive environment for social entrepreneurs to implement agricultural social entrepreneurship missions that positively impact farmers and communities, ultimately fostering an inclusive and sustainable agricultural sector.

Extending the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) by Examining the Decision-making Process of Individuals Starting a New Business: A Quantitative Analysis in Germany

Starting a new business is a risky and complex decision with widespread consequences for the entrepreneur. But despite extensive research, it is still not clear which specific factors influence this choice on the individual level of the entrepreneur.

University female entrepreneurship has seen significant growth in Colombia in recent years. This study aimed to examine the psychosocial factors that determine the entrepreneurial intent of Colombian university women, specifically analyzing how entrepreneurial attitude mediates the relationship between these factors and the intent to engage in entrepreneurship using a structural equation modeling approach (SEM). A total of 409 university students from various higher education institutions in Colombia participated by completing an online survey. The results demonstrated that extrinsic motivation (β = 0.178 moderate intensity), family environment (β = 0.127 moderate intensity), innovation (β = 0.462 very intense), and intrinsic motivation (β = 0.117 low intensity) positively influence entrepreneurial attitude, which in turn has a significant positive effect on the intent to engage in entrepreneurship (β = 0.709 very intense). Furthermore, innovation, extrinsic motivation, family environment, and intrinsic motivation indirectly influence entrepreneurial intent through their impact on attitude. In conclusion, this study provides a deeper understanding of the psychosocial mechanisms that drive female entrepreneurship in the Colombian university context and lays the groundwork for the design of educational programs and public policies that enhance the talent and entrepreneurial aspirations of women in higher education.
