An entrepreneurship ecosystem captures the essence of entrepreneurial energy in a cycle of economic life. Those will often be minds emerging from the tertiary education system, although the entrepreneurial spirit can just as well shine in self-taught enterprise builders who have fortified themselves.

Lebanese agriculture today is a field with many plots whose diversity has already grown when compared with some five years ago. Economically or politically dismissing the weed option in agricultural development scenarios would be extremely counterproductive to hopes for optimally developing the agricultural sector.

Given the absence of the government’s’ efforts to deal with the challenges that the agriculture sector is facing, private sector and international NGOs have stepped up to address destructive solutions to startups and young entrepreneurs in order to fight food insecurity.
