WHY: Agritourism is important for producers and their communities across the globe. Visitors to farms, ranches, and vineyards benefit from spending time in natural
environments and eating farm fresh products. Agritourism provides economic opportunities for farms, contributes to food sovereignty and security, conserves ecosystem services, and supports rural vitality, empowerment of women and youth, and regenerative agriculture. The 2022 International Workshop on Agritourism is a rich opportunity for agritourism operators, agricultural service providers and educators, tourism professionals, researchers, and others to connect and share our experiences, research, and expertise.
