Background of the Study
Sustainable businesses prioritize economic, social, and environmental goals, offering long-term benefits to communities while reducing ecological harm. In rural areas, sustainable businesses play a crucial role in creating jobs, supporting local economies, and improving living standards. In Niger State, a region rich in agricultural resources, sustainable businesses can transform rural communities by leveraging local assets, fostering entrepreneurship, and promoting self-sufficiency.
Globally, sustainable businesses in rural communities have been associated with poverty reduction, gender equality, and the preservation of traditional practices. In Niger State, however, challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, limited access to financing, and low levels of education hinder the growth of sustainable businesses. This study examines how sustainable businesses impact economic empowerment in rural communities in Niger State, highlighting their potential to address rural poverty and inequality.
