Summary. Small-scale agricultural entrepreneurship significantly improves livelihood assets for rural poor women in Bangladesh. Livestock and poultry enterprises boost financial, physical, and social capital; vegetable farming strengthens natural and physical capital; fisheries enhance human capital. NGO support through microcredit and institutional assistance proves critical to success. Resource scarcity, vulnerability, and weak institutional frameworks remain major barriers to long-term sustainability.
