Small businesses are a vital part of the U.S. economy, creating 80 percent of its jobs and accounting for nearly 40 percent of its private sales. Whether they are farmers exploring new agro-tourism opportunities, start-up companies in high technology, or micro-business entrepreneurs offering services from their homes, small and home-based businesses fuel economic growth in communities, including rural ones, where more traditional job opportunities are declining. Many of those communities are adjusting to changing market, environmental, and policy forces. CSREES' role is to supply science-based information and to help entrepreneurs understand these changes and take full advantage of emerging opportunities. Working with its many partners, CSREES promotes high-quality research to stimulate innovation in the private sector. It also helps build the skills and capacity of outreach professionals whose job it is to help entrepreneurs initiate and expand their businesses.
