4) Rural Women's Empowerment through Green Social Entrepreneurship
The "Learn - grow - live with women farmers" social cooperative was founded in 2006 to create job opportunities for women in rural areas and to offer valuable services for the community. The cooperative has its head office in the Autonomous Province of Bolzano/Bozen (South Tyrol, Italy), where there are remote marginalized valleys in terms of physical geography and their infrastructural features. The cooperative comprises a group of women farmers who provide diversified farm income through childcare on farms, encouraging the children towards directly integrating agricultural resources and the environment as teaching elements stimulate children's curiosity in learning and develop their awareness of environmental, sustainable, and rural resources.

Kolme Sõsara Hõrgutised (Three Sisters' Delights) started due to the sisters' desire to do something nice together. In 2019 they opened a restaurant in the village of Lüllemäe in Valgamaa (Estonia), on the edge of the picturesque Karula National Park. The sister responsible for the kitchen is a self-taught chef. She has practised at the Noma restaurant in Copenhagen, which has been awarded Michelin stars and voted the best in the world several times. Three Sisters is more than a restaurant or catering establishment. It is part of a family story that tells generations of farming, animal husbandry and living in the rhythm of nature, paying attention to knowing what's on our table, where it's grown, and how it's prepared into a meal with devotion.

Business Development for Women (Sweden) is a project provided a business training programme over six sessions to 60 women. Theoretical courses were mixed with practical exercises based on real cases. In addition to course materials and training activities, a Facebook group was created to facilitate networking and peer support among female entrepreneurs. The main goal was to enable more rural women to make a better living by developing an existing business. More specifically, it aimed to improve the business skills of female entrepreneurs. A longer-term objective was to change attitudes and challenge stereotypes towards women as entrepreneurs in rural areas.
