Bridging Social Impact and Agro-Entrepreneurship on Sustainable Wealth Creation in Delta State of Nigeria

Abstract

This research examines social entrepreneurship and agro entrepreneurship as dual drivers of sustainable wealth creation in Delta state, Nigeria. Adopting a mixed-method research design, the study looks at the experiences, challenges, and outcomes of social, and agro, entrepreneurs from both qualitative and quantitative perspectives. The two sectors have a remarkable contribution towards economic growth, boosting employment opportunities, and raising the living standards of the people in the region. The results indicate that social entrepreneurship dealing with social problems correlates significantly to agro entrepreneurship concerned with agricultural activities and rural development. Moreover, government assistance through funding, policies, and various forms of training were found to be the most important facilitators of success for both sectors. This study calls for the establishment of more proactive supportive policy approaches, better collaboration between social and agro entrepreneurs, improved infrastructure, and more focus on entrepreneurship training and development to achieve entrepreneurial sustainability. This study underscores the fact that by integrating these two sectors, there is immense significance in promoting sustainable socio-economic development and wealth creation in Delta state through entrepreneurial initiatives.
