“…There are obvious changes in employment, income and social relations [17]. The resource endowment of farmers is diversified, including economic, land, information and social aspects [18]. Therefore, in the design of the resource endowment index system, it should be widely and comprehensively considered.…”

At present, in the modeling and analysis of rural resource endowment, the internal relationship of elements is ignored, resulting in inaccurate judgment of governance level. Therefore, the modeling and analysis of rural governance and construction resource endowment is based on association rule algorithm. Identify the characteristics of rural governance resource elements as the information basis, design the clustering algorithm to determine the association rules and element attributes, and use the association rules algorithm to mine the internal relationship of resource endowment. Taking the information of rural governance resource endowment as the direction, the evaluation index is selected, and the rural resource endowment measurement model is constructed. The experimental results show that the modeling analysis results based on association rule algorithm are consistent with the actual governance development orientation, while the modeling analysis results based on evolution analysis algorithm and special group analysis algorithm are quite different from the actual governance development orientation. Therefore, the modeling analysis in this paper is more accurate, which is conducive to the accurate implementation of governance policies and rural planning.

“…In Cameroon, the information flow in Rural Resources Centres (RRCs) and the rating of such information sources by Cameroonian farmers were explored, and it was found that farmers rate their fellow farmers as the primary agricultural information source while RRCs come second [64]. In Ghana, the determining variables of mobile-phone utilization by smallholder poultry farmers were assessed.…”

The current financial environment is characterized by frequent innovations and complex financial products and services and this poses particular challenges for agribusiness entrepreneurs in rural areas. This study examined the sources of financial information available to agribusiness entrepreneurs in rural areas and how financial information literacy impacts performance sustainability and strategic decision-making effectiveness among agribusiness entrepreneurs amid complex and frequent innovations in financial environments in Nigeria. Utilizing a probability sampling approach, 397 respondents were drawn from the pool of agribusiness entrepreneurs registered with the Edo State Agricultural Development Programme for the Central Bank of Nigeria Anchored Borrower’s Programme (ABP) for farming businesses. The hypotheses were tested using linear regression analysis. The results from the demographic analysis suggest that agribusiness entrepreneurs have the highest access to radio adverts/programs on financial matters while television adverts/programs exert the highest persuasive influence on these agribusiness entrepreneurs. The outcomes from this analysis indicate that financial information literacy significantly impacts agribusiness performance sustainability among entrepreneurs. In addition, the proposed link between financial information literacy and strategic decision-making effectiveness among agribusiness entrepreneurs was confirmed. It is concluded that financial information literacy is needed for strategic decision-making effectiveness and performance sustainability among agribusiness entrepreneurs, particularly in rural areas, amid frequent innovative financial products and services.

“…Inclusive entrepreneurial opportunities are different from entrepreneurial opportunities in general sense. Opportunities appear in specific areas and are strongly influenced by background factors, such as regional cluster environment and government [ 10 ]. Oladele et al think that natural conditions, history, accidental factors, economies of scale and externalities, enterprise organizational structure, competition, and innovation are the key factors for the formation of industrial clusters [ 11 ].…”

The main strategic direction of promoting rural revitalization is to achieve high-quality rural development, maintain the dominant position of farmers, and promote common prosperity of farmers. In recent years, the sustainable development of economy has raised farmers’ awareness of starting their own businesses, and their entrepreneurial enthusiasm has been heating up. Based on the empirical survey data of typical rural areas in the Zhejiang Province and structural equation model analysis technology, this paper makes an empirical analysis of the relationship among network embeddedness, entrepreneurial resources, and entrepreneurial ability. The results show that knowledge resources have a significant negative impact on farmers’ inclusive entrepreneurial behavior. The dual embedment of social network and industrial network has a significant positive impact on migrant workers’ access to knowledge resources and operational resources needed for entrepreneurship, and the entrepreneurial ability of migrant workers mainly depends on operational resources. Under the background of common prosperity, we should continue to implement the policy of supporting farmers’ inclusive entrepreneurship and encouraging industrial and commercial capital to enter rural areas, and at the same time, provide rural areas with agricultural knowledge, agricultural skills, and market guidance to promote employment.
