The objective is to portray how Agroparque Biosuroeste has contributed to environmental value and development in the Cartama region.
Qualitative research methods were employed, involving in-depth interviews with key stakeholders involved in the venture’s creation and management, supplemented by secondary data resources. The findings highlight the significance of biophysical space and its resources in recognizing opportunities, designing value propositions, and strategic planning. Concepts such as embeddedness and bridging are identified as crucial in understanding the dynamics of the entrepreneurs’ interaction with multiple stakeholders. An integrated framework is presented to showcase the relationship between the enabling factors of rural entrepreneurship and the mechanisms to achieve sustainable environmental development.
The aim of this study is to illustrate how a unique case of rural entrepreneurship has served as a catalyst for sustainable and regenerative regional development. This paper seeks to inspire researchers and the general audience to explore and emphasize the importance of fostering entrepreneurship in rural areas with a focus on sustainability. (Less)
