Professor Veena Anand explained how Entrepreneurship in the field of agriculture can
generate a wide range of economic benefits such as increased Agri productivity, creation of
new business ventures, new jobs, innovative products and services, development of rural
areas, and increased wealth. Agriculture, being the primary source of livelihood for about
58% of India's population (FY 2020) has a greater impact on economic growth. Thus, the
involvement of youth in agriculture is vital as they are more energetic, productive, and
receptive to new ideas and advanced technologies.

importance of Agri- Entrepreneurs and how it has an impact on the promotion of the food
processing sector in India.
