        abstract = {Home Science has progressively evolved from a traditional, domestic-oriented discipline into an interdisciplinary field with significant entrepreneurial potential. Its diverse subfields such as food and nutrition, textiles and apparel, human development, interior design, food processing, resource management, and extension education provide a wide range of opportunities for innovation and enterprise creation. The increasing demand for personalized nutrition services, sustainable fashion, childcare facilities, home-based food ventures, and community-centered development programs has encouraged Home Science graduates to emerge as successful entrepreneurs. This review critically examines the scope, emerging trends, entrepreneurial opportunities, challenges, and future directions within Home Science. Drawing upon contemporary literature, sectoral insights, and case-based evidence, the paper highlights how Home Science entrepreneurship contributes to economic empowerment, women-led enterprises, and sustainable community development.},
