Agri Tourism in Rajasthan

In a new initiative labelled as Agri Tourism , Rajasthan Government is preparing to host tourists on fields to provide a complete hands-on farming experience. The initiative will introduce agriculture tourism in the state, developing both food parks and encouraging farmers to develop their farm fields.

Linking the tourism sector to agriculture has the ability to rejuvenate and inject resources for both sectors. Agri tourism will give tourists an attractive option to witness farming activities and learn more about rural way of life.Visitors will receive direct exposure and taste of rural life with stay on farm fields. For farmers it will be a source to generate additional income.

Brief about Agri Tourism:

Agri tourism is the incorporation of tourism with agriculture. It promotes agriculture and allied activities as a tourism product and incorporates an operational farm along with a commercial tourism element.

The concept of Agri tourism was initiated and developed in Europe and North America and has since spread in many countries. In India it was initiated in 2005 at Malegaon village , near Baramati, Maharashtra by Agri Tourism Development Company (ATDC).

Activities planned/takenup by Rajasthan Government:

• Agritourism is being promoted in Mega Food Park at Roopnagar in Ajmer . The park provides facilities for visiting organic farms and learn about different agriculture practices and produce. Government is planning to open up four more facilities. However they will be on public private partnership.
• Government is also considering developing similar visits in orange fields of Jhalawar & Sri Ganganagar , where tourist can see citrus fruits plants, taste them and understand the processing of fruits.
• Agritourism will also be promoted in upcoming Global Rajasthan Agritech Meet (GRAM).
• Other activities like cow milking, cooking food on rural chulha’s made of mud, learning basic rural handicrafts also have potential of developing tourism in villages.

The development of agritourism can not only helped farmers to hedge their risks from normal farming activities and increase revenues, but also improve their lifestyles.

Agro-tourism in Rajasthan: A way to bring down issues in our surrounding environment

Article sidebar, main article content.

The study attempts to show the impacts of agro tourism in environmental and climatic betterment of the state and nation. The results of this study will tell us that agro-tourism will help to improve environmental and climatic factors and also plays a great role as an additional income source for farmers and government. General public is now-a-day’s facing problem because of environmental instability and this can be cured if we consider agro tourism sector as a solution and incorporate this sector too like other tourism sector. Maharashtra was the first to understand this sectors demand and used this concept very well to improve its GDP and environment. Agro tourism help to create awareness among public about the environment by providing income source and environmental benefits both simultaneously. It creates knowledge about agriculture science.

A modern style of development proposes rationalexploitation of agricultural resources together with the rediscovery of heritage both historical and naturalistic as a means to reach sustainable development. Agro tourism acts as the contact point between the tourist’s expectations of healthy environment, natural and fresh products, rediscovery of nature and best touristic services with an unforgettable experience. The study assumes the importance of environmental and climatic betterment to neutralize or reduce its harmful effects in near future. It helps to evaluate that how a sustainable development can be reached without causing damage to our environment. This synergy between agriculture and tourism capitalized on the combined benefits of development in agriculture as a primary sector and tourism as a service sector which further boost rural employment generation and environmental benefits. Thus, the paper suggests that agro-tourism has the potential for developing income opportunities and creates new ways for environmental and climatic betterment
