Abstract: Rural entrepreneurship is one of the foundations of rural economic development. However, rural entrepreneurship has only recently been defined and few major research studies have been attempted. This article analyzes current research on rural entrepreneurship, examines current strategies and programs in the area, proposes a unified public-private approach to rural entrepreneurship, and suggests an integrated program to support rural entrepreneurship in the United States. Such a program would strengthen the competitive opportunities for rural areas in the United States.
