“…There is no consensus in the literature regarding the universally accepted contextual factors that influence entrepreneurship, although they are usually classified as formal institutional and informal institutional [90][91][92]. From a formal institutional perspective, the importance of government policies and programs, infrastructure and market development are highlighted [93][94][95]. The role of the educational system has also been highlighted because it allows for the development of an entrepreneurial vocation, values related to self-employment, entrepreneurial competencies and entrepreneurial intention [96][97][98].…”

This article studies the variables of entrepreneurship at the regional (countries) level proposed by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) in its periodic global reports. This response to the suggestions and concerns of various authors is related to the need to analyze the theoretical foundation of the variables used by GEM. The validity and reliability of GEM data for the scientific study of entrepreneurship are also analyzed. Finally, the potential of GEM data to manage entrepreneurship variables at the country level is studied. Data from the GEM global report and the fifty countries for which data are available on all variables are used in the study. The methodology used is the Rasch mathematical model, a valuable alternative to the Classical Theory of the Test. The results confirm the theoretical validity of GEM data, its validity and reliability for the development of scientific studies, and its potential for managing entrepreneurship variables at the country level. Both the methodology used and the conclusions obtained constitute novel contributions to this field.

Growing and purchasing demand for organic fresh produce is increasing rapidly. Consumers are aware of health, environmental safety, pesticide harmfulness, nutrients, bioactive compounds, and safe food. Many research works are available on organic and conventional fresh produce. As organic fresh produce growing and purchasing demand is increasing, it has become necessary to review the recent trends in quality, safety, and consumer preferences of organic and conventional fresh food products. A few reports have been compiled on organic and conventional fresh produce. Researchers have started working on organic and conventional fresh produce with the help of modern technology to improve nutritional and functional quality, safety, and consumer preferences. Nutritional and functional quality, safety, and consumer preferences depend on cultivation techniques, treatment, crop cultivar, and appearance of products. Therefore, it is necessary to compile the literature on organic and conventional fresh produce based on quality, safety, and consumer preferences.

It outlines main trends in social entrepreneurship, and highlights successful entrepreneurial initiatives in solving social problems. The paper also examines how social entrepreneurship can help government to benefit society and improve lives. Government and social entrepreneurs have a common goal to solve social problems in effective and efficient way. However, little has been researched on this relationship.
