Abstract

Entrepreneurs are viewed as agents of change. Educating university students in all fields to become entrepreneurs must be a priority for Higher Education Institutions. This study aims to review literature on experiential learning in entrepreneurship education as an agent of change and analyse the conceptual and social structure of research carried out between 1991 and 2020. A review of existing literature combined with a bibliometric analysis of entrepreneurship education were utilised. The findings reveal that entrepreneurship in the agricultural sector is still an emerging phenomenon under consolidation especially in comparison with other disciplines such as management and commerce. In general, while entrepreneurship is taught as a discipline there is no clear application of theory to practice. Findings show that research gained momentum from 2003 and it has been on the rise. Most of the research has been conducted in the field of Education and Training with USA leading in country productions. A collaboration index of 2.5 was attained and the United Kingdom has the highest cross-national collaborations. African countries need to holistically embrace entrepreneurship education in their curricula as this is paramount to a sustainable green industrial development. Collaborations with the USA, UK and other countries like Malaysia would be beneficial in the transfer of knowledge and skills. This would enhance technological diffusion and consequently increase productivity within the agricultural sector in Africa.
