Abstract

The social entrepreneurs consider solving the social problem first rather than minting profits. As the world today is suffering from the problem of rising population, the food demands are destined to rise in the times to come. The shrinking arable land, less availability of fresh water, concentration of population in towns and cities, etc. are becoming a threat to the agriculture sector. Thus, the agriculture sector requires innovative practices that at times comes with cost. Entrepreneurship with an objective of minting profit might escalate the price of the agricultural produce, and being a primary sector, it might further lead to inflation in other sectors as well. To these issues, social entrepreneurship appears to be a potential solution that has been discussed considering literature and reports in this chapter.
