Weeds are a major constraint in agricultural production, causing significant yield losses and economic damage worldwide. The continuous use of herbicides has brought about the development of weeds resistant to these herbicides, referred to as superweeds. Such weeds have spread throughout the world, including India, posing great problems in agricultural practices. Practices such as crop rotation, herbicide diversification, proper agronomic management and regular monitoring can help manage resistance effectively. Sustainable and diversified weed management strategies are therefore crucial to ensure long-term agricultural productivity and food security.

In India, rural youth unemployment and underemployment continue to be significant issues, especially in areas that rely heavily on agriculture. Entrepreneurial involvement in aquaculture and related fisheries activities is known as aquapreneurship, and it has become a promising avenue for self-employment, generating income, and diversifying rural livelihoods India has enormous potential for aquaculture due to its favorable climate, abundant aquatic resources, and growing domestic and international markets. Youth involvement in aquaculture-based businesses, including fish farming, hatchery operations, ornamental fish culture, biofloc systems, value addition, and fisheries input supply, has been promoted in recent years due to government initiatives, skill development programs, and institutional support. This review summarizes the body of research on aquapreneurship with an emphasis on how it helps Indian rural youth pursue self-employment. The study looks at aquapreneurship development-related opportunities, enabling factors, barriers, and policy interventions. The study further identifies research gaps and makes recommendations for ways to promote aquapreneurship as a viable source of income for young people living in rural areas.

Blue economy is a concept for sustainable development that encompasses the economic growth, environmental sustainability and social inclusion through marine resources.
