The Philippine agriculture is threatened by the ageing generation of farmers mainly due to various stereotypes about farming. One way to revitalize the country?s agriculture sector and entice the young generation to engage in farming is through agripreneurship. A study was conducted to predict the variables that influence the agripreneurial intentions of selected agriculture students in Davao Region, Philippines. Employing a quantitative descriptive research design, survey questionnaires were administered to 300 respondents from three tertiary state-run institutions across the region. Using binary logistics regression analysis, results revealed that among the socio-demographics, family agricultural land ownership reliably predicted agripreneurial intentions of students while the impact on other factors was insignificant. Furthermore, human behaviors were found to significantly impact their decisions towards agripreneurship. It also appeared that creativity, problem solving, and leadership and communication skills positively influenced agripreneurial intentions. These results provide useful idea to enhance the academes? teaching strategies in promoting agripreneurship.
