Rural Entrepreneurship: Harvesting Ideas and Sowing New Seeds examines what we have learnt about different aspects of rural entrepreneurship and what still needs to be understood. It constructively critiques current understandings of the dynamic rural economic landscape and acknowledges that this understanding needs to be agile and constantly updated, as rural entrepreneurship itself is evolving continuously though at various speeds and in ways that will challenge policies in the near future.

Rural Entrepreneurship celebrates how far we have come, reflects on our earlier transgressions, break down sour assumptions to spawn new research directions, and underscores foreseeable challenges in the post-Covid and contemporary climate emergency world. The fluidity of demographic, socioeconomic, workplace, lifestyle, and physical geographic dimensions make rural entrepreneurship an engaging and exciting real-world subject that has meaning and ramifications for swathes of the population.

Accessible and full of deep thought, this latest volume of the Contemporary Issues in Entrepreneurship Research series is a must have for all those interested in the future of diverse and international rural economies.
