This cultural asset can play a key role within South Africa’s tourism sector strategy while being a catalyst for promoting initiatives and practices crucial for sustainable food and agriculture development. Value Proposition: The Agritourism market (driven largely by culinary tourism) is a dynamic growth sub-sector that can contribute to transforming Sub-Saharan Africa food systems on all three dimensions/measures of food system sustainability – economic, social, and environmental through the following pathways: Promoting relevant and innovative agriculture and tourism related enterprises (at the national and regional levels) Creating on- and off-farm jobs along the higher end of value chains, particularly in the services sector and for the youth and women Increasing local production and marketing of diverse and nutritious food crops/products Reshaping public sector policies and messaging on food safety/hygiene and nutritious food consumption Engendering conducive policy and business ecosystems Promoting regenerative agricultural practices and environmental conservation Objectives: The dialogue will present practical case studies of agritourism activities to: Increase awareness and generate discussion among stakeholders on key market opportunities in the agritourism sub-sector to support all dimensions of food systems sustainability including food security & nutrition, sustainable job creation, and environmental conservation. Identify key policy and program interventions to support maximising agritourism market opportunities for transforming South Africa’s food system. Generate interest in establishing an informal AgriTourism Food Systems network for continued dialogue and action beyond the Summit.      https://summitdialogues.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Banner_RS-1024x1024.jpg
