Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development as a Rural Development Strategy

Kenneth L. Robinson, Wylin Dassie, Ralph D. Christy · 2004

Summary. Small business development and entrepreneurship support can combat rural poverty and strengthen local economies. The authors examine the USDA 1890 Entrepreneurial Outreach Initiative as a community-based strategy to spur economic growth in rural Southern communities. They argue that locally-controlled enterprises are critical for determining whether rural communities prosper or decline, and that microenterprise programs represent an important development approach.
