Fostering Entrepreneurial Agriculture in Tanzania

Fostering Entrepreneurial Agriculture in Tanzania investigates the roles of innovative farming and agriculture in Tanzania’s agrarian economy. While the recent wave of global economic revolutions has transformed the agricultural and farming industries, Tanzania’s economy is still in transition. The transformation toward innovative agriculture is often mentioned but the impact of such changes and the resulting opportunities have rarely been empirically tested. More specifically, this volume explores the following topical areas: • Entrepreneurial agriculture and local economic growth; • Marketing systems and cess collection; • Farmers’ awareness on rural development approaches; • Economic impacts of HIV and AIDS – mechanism and challenges facing the Agricultural sector; • The potential of agribusiness incubators; • Paradigm shift in the Tanzanian economy; • Agricultural industrialization and income distribution; and lastly • Fostering entrepreneurial agriculture in Tanzania. Contributors are academics well–versed in the different fields of Economics, Agriculture, Policy Analysis and Entrepreneurship, among others.
