Celebrating the world environment day, I attended the\u00a0webinar\u00a0\u201cWhat is rural tourism? Opportunities for development\u201d organized by\u00a0AVOP, who invited two Farmer-To-Farmer volunteers (F2F), Mr. David Visher who is a seasoned Farmer-to-Farmer volunteer, completing 17 assignments in 12 countries, among other accomplishments in academia and with NGOs. And Mrs. Penny Leff who is the statewide Agritourism Coordinator with the University of California Cooperative Extension.<\/p>\n

They both addressed very important points regarding the agritourism, reflecting them in the successes, opportunities and challenges. First the Agritourism is any income generating activity conducted on a working farm or ranch for enjoyment and education of visitors, as the agritourism has different impacts on both the visitors and communities:<\/p>\n
