A call for proposals for Agri-Food Tourism Initiatives under the 2025 Rural Innovation and Development Fund (RIDF) has been announced.
Agri-food tourism is defined as the practice of offering one or more activities as part of a visit to areas of well-known agricultural produce and to sample and taste the local or regional cuisine or specialties. These includes a wide variety of activities that involve links between agriculture and the food produced at the local or regional level, such as; staying on farm or touring food trails and events, participation in agricultural endeavours or buying produce direct from a farm or market. Agri-food tourism also encompasses local food, farmer and artisan market schemes that support and are paired with local and seasonal food producers and artisan crafts.
