Abstract: Abstract Basing on in-depth interviews with youth agripreneurs, the study explores how entrepreneurial passion enhances entrepreneurial farming among the youth in a developing country context. The study establishes that entrepreneurial passion enhances entrepreneurial farming by driving entrepreneurial behaviour attitude of the youth. The study further establishes that contextual factors and family support are important for entrepreneurial farming among the youth. This study bridges the existing disconnection between business research and agriculture and extends the entrepreneurial passion debate to the less explored agricultural sector. It contributes towards the construction of entrepreneurial farming, and proposes its hypothetical model that can be tested in future research. It also has implications for effective agricultural development programming and overall harnessing of the demographic dividend in Africa’s agriculture sector.
