HARVESTING EMPOWERMENT: ARTREPRENEURSHIP'S IMPACT ON COASTAL YORUBA LAGOS FARM FAMILIES
Abstract
This study investigates the transformative potential of artrepreneurship in empowering farm families along the coastal regions of Yoruba Lagos. Artrepreneurship, the fusion of artistic creativity and entrepreneurial endeavors, is explored as a catalyst for socio-economic upliftment within the agricultural sector. Through a combination of qualitative interviews, field observations, and economic assessments, the research seeks to unravel the multifaceted impacts of artrepreneurial activities on the livelihoods and empowerment of farm families in this distinctive coastal Yoruba community. The findings contribute valuable insights to the intersection of agriculture, entrepreneurship, and artistic innovation in fostering sustainable development.
