“…Historically, agriculture has been considered as an inflexible, low-tech industry dominated by family businesses that are mostly focused on doing things better rather than doing new things, although market influences mean that entrepreneurial behaviour is often seen as an asset within the sector (Lans et al, 2013). Indeed, entrepreneurship is vital for economic transformation, stimulation of global development and is a wealth generator at individual, regional, national and international levels (Obembe et al, 2014;Manning and Parrott, 2018). In the case of land-based universities, consideration of what rural entrepreneurship encompasses is of interest.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop a conceptual framework along with a set of hypotheses that reflects the dynamic relationships that operate within an entrepreneurial land-based university in order to then undertake empirical research. Design/methodology/approach This paper, through reflection on existing literature, critiques the interactions between student, academic, educational institution and industry in order to conceptualise the entrepreneurial modus operandi of a land-based university. Findings Specialist universities, such as those that serve the land-based sector, need to demonstrate multiple excellences not only in terms of the education they provide for students, but also in terms of consistently meeting or exceeding government, research community, employers and societies expectations. An institutional framework must be in place to facilitate and enhance the quadruple interface of academic, institutional, industry and student entrepreneurial behaviour. The social and economic factors that mediate the dynamics within this framework first underpin student development supporting them to reach their potential, second inform teaching excellence and research practice and finally, lead to outcomes that contribute to the global, national and regional economy. Originality/value This paper is of value for those working in the educational sector as the model outlined can be used to critically reflect on current principles and practice and derive options for action to embed entrepreneurship more deeply within the organisational culture of a university.

“…There are a number of contemporary literatures of interest that are considered: agricultural entrepreneurship, agri technology, the entrepreneurial farmer, rural entrepreneurship more widely, and then the specific aspects of entrepreneurial legacy and entrepreneurial bridging. Whilst entrepreneurial legacy is considered in current literature in terms of development and nurturing generational entrepreneurial behavior with families [62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70], what has been identified in this paper is how a university with an agri-technology incubator can in itself develop an ecosystem of entrepreneurial legacy. This is especially so when there is an interaction between existing students and businesses that are at all different stages on the ideation to fully commercialized journey.…”

“…Whilst HAU does not have a specific entrepreneurship module, the one-year compulsory work placement has been shown to increase entrepreneurial attitude of the students that participated. Manning and Parrott's [69] study showed that weighted mean entrepreneurial attitude increased after placement for all students (n = 108) even when 77% of the students already came from a selfemployed or entrepreneurial background and the agricultural students mean weighted entrepreneurial attitude was higher than all other students on different programs.…”

“…Imprinting results from the profound influence of the social and historical context, mediated by the counter-balancing process of reflexivity [68]. Entrepreneurial legacy can also mean that parents nudge their children towards educational and work experiences that either mirror their own and/or that they perceive as high quality and suitably related to the family business [69]. Entrepreneurial legacy with agricultural businesses can also influence access to capital and social networks [70], perceived behavioral support [71] and social learning [69].…”

Entrepreneurship and more, particularly ecopreneurship, are essential to drive the sustainable transitions needed in food supply chains. Existing pedagogic frameworks should address these academic disciplines and they should be embedded in the educational curricula. Even when ideas are formed that can drive sustainable change, the process from ideation to commercialization can be difficult: the so-called “valley of death.” This aim of this conceptual paper is to consider pedagogic and program design and the mechanisms required to enaction of a body of practice around entrepreneurship and, more specifically, ecopreneurship, within academic curricula and associated business incubators. This makes this paper of particular interest for academia, policy makers and industry support sectors alike. An existing university that has both a student enterprise and ecopreneurship program and an established agri-technology business incubator and accelerator is used as a case study to provide insight into how progress from ideation to commercialization can be more readily supported in a university setting. From a pedagogical perspective, it is incumbent to develop new conceptual, methodological and theoretically underpinned spiral pedagogies to teach and support future generations of learners at agricultural and land-based colleges and universities as to how to exploit and take advantage of entrepreneurial and ecopreneurial business opportunities. Productization, too, needs to be embedded into the ecopreneurial pedagogy and also consideration of how businesses and their associated ecopreneurs navigate from ideation to successful product/service commercialization.

“…No contexto estudantil, a atitude empreendedora tem se mostrado importante por possibilitar a avaliação da eficácia de práticas voltadas a fomentar a opção ocupacional pelo empreendedorismo (Ismail, 2015). Estudantes com maior nível de atitude empreendedora tendem a intencionar empreender com maior magnitude quando comparados àqueles com baixo nível do construto (Johnson & Mathew, 2017;Manning & Parrott, 2017). Numa perspectiva expandida, países em que os sujeitos exibem maiores níveis de atitude empreendedora tendem a apresentar maior nível de atividade empreendedora, o que demonstra a centralidade desse construto para predição do empreendedorismo como alternativa ocupacional (Draghici, Albulescu, & Tamasila, 2014).…”

ResumoO empreendedorismo é um fenômeno multideterminado, sendo relevante a compreensão dos aspectos pessoais associados ao tema. O presente estudo objetivou analisar evidências de validade baseada na estrutura interna para uma medida adaptada de atitude empreendedora numa amostra de 272 estudantes universitários. Para análise da estrutura interna da escala foi realizada análise fatorial exploratória. Foi encontrada uma solução fatorial de cinco fatores para o contexto brasileiro (liderança, realização, risco, controle e criatividade). A confiabilidade dos fatores da medida foi estimada por meio dos coeficientes alfa e ômega para dados ordinais variando entre 0,56 e 0,74. Recomenda-se o uso da escala em estudos ulteriores, a fim de apurar evidências de validade em outros contextos e investigar variáveis antecedentes e consequentes de atitude empreendedora que otimizem as condições de avaliação do empreendedorismo nas práticas de orientação profissional. Abstract: Validity evidences through internal structure for entrepreneurial attitude scale (ATEBr)Entrepreneurship is a multidetermined phenomenon, being relevant the understanding of the personal aspects associated with it. The present study aimed to analyze evidence of validity based on the internal structure for an adapted measure of entrepreneurial attitude in a sample of 272 university students. For the analysis of the internal structure of the scale, an exploratory factorial analysis was performed. It was found a factorial solution of five factors for the Brazilian context (leadership, achievement, risk, control and creativity). The reliability of the measurement factors was estimated by means of the alpha and omega coefficient for ordinal data varying between 0.56 and 0.74. It is recommended to use the scale in further studies in order to ascertain evidence of validity in other contexts and to investigate relevant variables and consequent of an entrepreneurial attitude that optimize the conditions for evaluating entrepreneurship in professional orientation practices.
