تأثیر کارآفرینی بر اقتصاد گلخانه‌داری در استان آذربایجان غربی

Given the increasing growth of the population, soil and water limitations and the decrease of the foodstuff, plantation in greenhouses could be one of the solutions for efficient use of natural resources. As for the 10 times increase of the outcome compared with the plantation in open air, the agricultural experts believe that greenhouse plantation is appropriate for maintaining the nutrition security. Nevertheless, people with entrepreneurship motivations are required for developing the greenhouse plantation units because entrepreneurship is to convert a new idea to a new product or new services. This entails such privileges as facilitating products marketing, job creation, rising productivity, economic self-reliance, and growth in agricultural products. The present research studied the impact of entrepreneurship on the greenhouse products of West Azerbaijan via time series data of 241 greenhouses. The Cronbach alpha coefficient was calculated as 0.85, which shows the appropriate reliability of the research tools. The content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed through the experts and the teachers dealing with the subject. The results showed that the entrepreneurship has a negative impact on the quantity of consumable elements. In other words, the entrepreneurship decreases the quantity of consumable elements. It must be noted that the risk-avoidance affects the consumable elements negatively.
