University of Vermont Extension is hosting two free webinars for agritourism operators in October.
“Legislation to Support Agritourism in the United States” will be held via Zoom on Wednesday, Oct. 4, at 1 p.m. U.S. Rep. Jennifer Wexton from Virginia and other legislative leaders will present information about the purpose and intent of the bipartisan Agritourism Act, designed to create an Office of Agritourism in the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The office will represent the interests of agritourism enterprises and consolidate federal resources, such as loans, grants and broadband connectivity programs, to sustain these businesses.
To register, go to go.uvm.edu/legislation.
The following Wednesday, on Oct. 11, “Growing the Global Agritourism Network: Findings from Evaluations of Webinars and Conferences,” will begin at 10 a.m. This Zoom session includes an update on the Global Agritourism Network, which was established earlier this year to enhance the capacity of agritourism worldwide.
