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. Panelists from Africa, Latin America and North America will share their experiences with agritourism on their farms and in their communities. Erica Campbell, policy manager for the Netflix documentary, Kiss the Ground, will moderate the panel.
