India is an agrarian country with vast land availability for agricultural activities, and a large population depends on agriculture and its allied businesses. The agripreneurship is the entrepreneurship in the agricultural sector, brought in by the people with innovative ideas to develop the existing practices for better productivity. This conference will provide a platform to discuss the concept of agripreneurship, opportunities, and challenges, as it can overcome problems like diversifying income, generating growth, greater employment, new technology, and optimum utilization of the resources available. Shifts from agriculture to agribusiness are an essential pathway to revolutionizing Indian agriculture and make a more attractive and profitable venture. Agripreneurship can contribute to a range of social and economic development such as employment generation, poverty reduction, and improvements in nutrition, health, and overall food security in the national economy. As Farmers are the backbone of our country, there comes a need to develop some agripreneurs in the current scenario.
An agripreneur's job is never easy as he takes the risk, adopts innovation, creates new ways of doing things, and taps new market opportunities. Agripreneurship is generally sustainable and community-oriented. Sustainable agriculture denotes a holistic, systems-oriented approach to farming that focuses on the interrelationships of social, economic, and environmental processes. Traditionally, agriculture is seen as a low-tech industry with limited dynamics dominated by numerous small family farms, mostly paying attention to doing things better rather than doing new things. Over the last decade, this situation has changed dramatically, due to economic liberalization, reduced shelter of agricultural markets, and a fast-changing, more decisive, society. Agricultural companies more progressively have to adapt to the market's vagaries, varying consumer lifestyle, enhanced ecological regulations, new necessities for product quality, chain management, food security, sustainability, and so on. These alterations have cleared the way for new participator, innovation, and portfolio entrepreneurship.
In the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry, particularly in food, Indian brands have been following our Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'vocal for local' or localization vision for a while now. Emphasizing on a self-reliant, or 'aatmanirbhar', India, the government has asked that products not just be made in India, but also for promoting local brands, manufacturing, and supply chain. The Prime Minister's 'vocal for local' and 'local for global' mantra has also brought out the significance for our local brands to have a global presence.
