Agripreneurship as one of the means to ensure food security in Tanzania has received scant attention. This study bridges the knowledge gap by showing the state of the art on agripreneurship and food security in Tanzania, research themes and new developments on the two concepts, showing literature gaps and practise on the concepts, and showing how agripreneurship is a solution to food insecurity in Tanzania. Herein, a total of 61 articles retrieved from Scopus, Google Scholar, and the Web of Science databases on the themes of agripreneurship and food security were reviewed. This study has demonstrated agripreneurship techniques can be a solution to food security by ensuring food availability, accessibility, and affordability. Thus, it is recommended to the policymakers that they formulate a policy that focuses on both supply-side and demand-side factors. Furthermore, agripreneurs are urged to update their knowledge and skills so that they can access timely information through ICT tools, mostly TV, radio, and phone.
农业创业作为确保坦桑尼亚粮食安全的手段之一,很少受到关注。本研究通过展示坦桑尼亚农业创业和粮食安全的现状、这两个概念的研究主题和新发展、揭示文献空白和概念实践,以及展示农业创业如何成为解决坦桑尼亚粮食不安全问题的方案,弥合了知识差距。在此,共对从Scopus、谷歌学术和科学网数据库中检索到的61篇关于农业创业和粮食安全主题的文章进行了综述。本研究表明,农业创业技术可以通过确保粮食的可得性、可及性和可负担性来解决粮食安全问题。因此,建议政策制定者制定一项兼顾供应侧和需求侧因素的政策。此外,敦促农业创业者更新他们的知识和技能,以便他们能够通过信息通信技术工具,主要是电视、广播和电话,获取及时的信息。
