Why being an Agripreneur is more than just being a ‘farmer’ or ‘rancher’

我很容易从询问农业创业（AE）学位的人那里得到的一个评论是，它是否只是另一个“农业或牧场”学位。 Though without ‘production’ or farming and ranching we would not have the resources available to feed, clothe, and fuel a growing global population, the AE degree is about connecting the “Agricultural Value Chain Web”. In economics we talk about supply and demand, and the drivers of inputs and consumer prices. Discussions of agricultural inputs, outputs, and the supply/demand drivers change the economic and performance outcomes of the entire agricultural web. Therefore, an Agripreneur needs to understand how the various factors and inputs outside of the traditional agriculture production (i.e. farming and ranching) setting greatly impacts the overall sustainability of agriculture, especially if you just want to be a better farmer or rancher.
