TAH 361 - Local Food & Agritourism

This class explores where our food comes from and how it is produced within the context of the growing local food movement. It also examines the parallel increase in agritourism, which involves agricultural businesses diversifying to sustain traditional farm practices, educate the public, and attract visitors. Various agritourism models will be studied, including “farm to fork” businesses that provide local foods to area restaurants. Students will have the opportunity to visit and possibly conduct research with local agritourism businesses.
