An empirical investigation of the role of rural development policies in stimulating rural entrepreneurship in the Lazio Region of Italy

Marcello De Rosa, Gerard McElwee · 2015 · Society and Business Review

Farmers who succeed in accessing these funds demonstrate proactive, strategic behavior and coherent planning aligned with policy requirements. The analysis reveals low coordination among rural farms and highlights the need for multi-agency policy approaches that recognize entrepreneurial practices in agricultural settings.
