Abstract

In the context of sustainability and agriculture, the relationship between social capital and agri-entrepreneurship has emerged as an important area of study. Since social capital is an integral part of achieving sustainable livelihood, its importance cannot be overlooked. Therefore, this study based in the district of Karbi Anglong, Assam, focuses on the social capital levels of women agri-entrepreneurs as well as understanding the levels of sustainable livelihood of the respondents. The study is based on findings from primary data, which include certain agri-entrepreneurship characteristics such as age of the respondents, level of education accomplished, exposure to agricultural training and entrepreneurship development, farm age and farm experience were associated with social capital dimensions and sustainable livelihood dimensions using a quantitative approach. The analysis shows the importance of certain characteristics that are crucial for achieving sustainable livelihood. The study also highlights the importance of developmental programs and promotion of group efforts in order to make agricultural communities resilient, preparing them for several shocks and stresses in the future.
