Summary. The paper develops a community entrepreneurship development framework for rural regions and tests it in South Australia's Barossa Valley agricultural sector. The framework helps practitioners and policymakers build entrepreneurial capacity by combining community capitals—particularly natural, human, and social capital. The research shows that successful firm-level entrepreneurship depends on leveraging a region's unique natural resources alongside human and entrepreneurial assets to drive community-wide market development.
