The practice of entrepreneurship in agriculture, rural areas and farmers is becoming more and more active, and the academic research around the entrepreneurship of agriculture, rural areas and farmers is gradually increasing in different countries. Based on the existing research results of agriculture, rural areas and farmer entrepreneurship, this study combs the concepts of rural entrepreneurship, agricultural entrepreneurship and farmer entrepreneurship, and summarizes the differences and connections between agriculture rural entrepreneurship, agricultural entrepreneurship and farmer entrepreneurship. Rural entrepreneurship emphasizes the entrepreneurial environment; agricultural entrepreneurship emphasizes the agricultural industries; farmer entrepreneurship emphasizes the features of the farmer entrepreneurs. However, the discussion of issues such as the identification of entrepreneurial opportunities or entrepreneurial resources in the three types of entrepreneurship cannot be strictly distinguished. Therefore, this study summarizes the future research directors of agriculture, rural and farmer entrepreneurship. We explore the entrepreneurial opportunities of agriculture, rural areas and rural areas, on the basis of understanding the rural value and rural problems which distinguish from industrial entrepreneurship logic.
