Abstract
Strengthening rural entrepreneurship as an effective lever in accelerating economic growth and social empowerment plays an important role in the rural development process. Among these, there are capabilities and obstacles that, by identifying them, in addition to the growth and development of entrepreneurship among rural communities, can also provide the grounds for achieving sustainable development. The most strategic economic tool of advanced societies in order to achieve economic development is the development of entrepreneurship, while in Iran, in most cases, the lack of real recognition of the concept of entrepreneurship has led to its introduction as a solution to the problem of unemployment and has diverted institutions active in the field of entrepreneurship from their main mission and summarized the discussion of entrepreneurship in two topics: introductory entrepreneurship training and providing microfinance facilities. However, entrepreneurship development as a macro strategy requires increasing and improving entrepreneurial perceptions, tendencies, and behaviors at all levels, which are rooted in many factors, including educational, political, social, cultural, and economic. Considering that the concept of development has a theoretical and value-based aspect, and that the speed and economic growth and value creation are based on innovation and entrepreneurship, it is necessary to provide the necessary foundation for growth and development based on the value perspective of expert entrepreneurs who transform knowledge and ideas into products, so that the development of agricultural entrepreneurship is based on dynamic goal setting and realistic future vision based on the indigenous model towards comprehensive development and excellence, focusing on the needs of the community. This study, which was prepared in a review method, while examining the concept and nature of rural and agricultural entrepreneurship, also recognizes the dimensions and indicators of entrepreneurship development, and finally presents models and research related to the development of agricultural entrepreneurship.
