Date & Time
Thursday, February 6, 2025, 4:00 PM - 5:15 PM
Description

Join us for an engaging session exploring agritourism and agrihoods. With the increasing interest in sustainable practices, agritourism presents a unique opportunity for farmers to diversify their income streams. This approach not only allows them to engage visitors with the land but also enhances the overall experience of rural tourism. In regions that depend heavily on tourism, integrating agriculture can lead to substantial financial benefits. Let's discuss how this can work for you! We’ll also examine agrihoods—sustainable neighborhoods centered around working farms and community gardens—which promote a connection to nature, healthy lifestyles, and local economies. Participants will learn about best practices for visitor experiences and the design principles behind agrihoods. We’ll also discuss the challenges and opportunities including regulatory issues and community engagement. Prepare for interactive discussions and insights on sustainable agricultural practices that benefit communities.
