Enabling agritourism for those seeking to diversify and promote agriculture
Agritourism in Australia has its origins in farm income diversification and business sustainability and resilience.
It was soon realised by farmers that there were a whole range of other benefits stemming from agritourism ventures, especially in showcasing farm-related activities for the purpose of education and entertainment.
Agritourism examples include farmstays, tours and cuisines at farms, wineries, breweries and farmgate ventures.
CSIRO Australian Food and Agribusiness estimates the value of agritourism in Australia will reach about $18.6 billion by 2030, with about five per cent per annum growth.
