Shifting global consumption patterns, tastes and attitudes towards
food, leisure, travel and place have opened new opportunities for
rural producers in the form of agritourism, ecotourism, wine, food
and rural tourism and specialized niche market agricultural
production for tourism. Agriculture is one of the oldest and most
basic parts of the global economy, while tourism is one of the
newest and most rapidly spreading. In the face of current problems
of climate change, rising food prices, poverty and a global
financial crisis, linkages between agriculture and tourism may
provide the basis for new solutions in many countries. A number of
challenges, nevertheless, confront the realization of synergies
between tourism and agriculture. Tourism and Agriculture examines
regional specific cases at the interface between tourism and
agriculture, looking at the impacts of rural restructuring, and new
geographies of consumption and production. To meet the need for a
more comprehensive appreciation of the relationships and
interactions between the tourism and agricultural economic sectors,
this book consider the factors that influence the nature of these
relationships; and explore avenues for facilitating synergistic
relationships between tourism and agriculture. These relationships
are examined in thirteen chapters through case studies from eastern
and western Europe, Japan and the United States and from the
developing countries of the Pacific, the Caribbean and Ghana and
Mexico. Themes of diversification, economic development, and
emerging new forms of production and consumption, are integrated
throughout the entire book. This essential volume, built on
original research, generates new insights into the relationships
between tourism and agriculture and future economic rural
development. Edited by leading researchers and academics in the
field, this book will be of value to students, researchers and
academics interested in tourism, agriculture and rural development.
