What are the development trends of leisure agriculture?
Leisure agriculture is a new type of agricultural production and management form that uses agricultural landscape resources and agricultural production conditions to develop sightseeing, leisure and tourism. It is also a new way to deeply develop the potential of agricultural resources, adjust the agricultural structure, improve the agricultural environment and increase farmers' income. Now let us take a look at the development trends of leisure agriculture!
New rural construction
Advancing agricultural modernization in step with the in-depth development of industrialization and urbanization was a major task during the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period. We must always make solving the issues relating to agriculture, rural areas and farmers a top priority and coordinate urban and rural development. We should strengthen the planning and construction of new socialist rural areas, improve rural infrastructure and public service facilities, carry out comprehensive improvement of the rural environment, and build a beautiful new home in which farmers can live happily.
Agricultural diversification
Leisure activities of urban residents have formed the core structure of rural tourism, including sightseeing and picking agriculture, greenhouse ecological restaurants, agritainment, farm courtyards, folk custom villages, fishing and fresh food dining, and so on. This has driven the comprehensive development of ornamental cash crop planting, consumption of vegetables, melons and fruits, consumption of poultry and livestock, catering and accommodation services, and folk culture consumption, while at the same time introducing the tertiary industry into rural areas.
Rural scenic-ization
Rural scenery has become the tourism foundation. We should build rural areas with the concept of landscape, operate agriculture with the concept of tourism, and cultivate farmers with the concept of talent, decorating the countryside into a hinterland for tourism and vacations. Rural dwellings have become sightseeing and experience products. By combining rural dwellings with local resources and cultural characteristics, development approaches of an industrial, environmental-protection, ecological, cultural and modern type are formed.
Farmers with multiple occupations
The development of rural tourism can enable farmers to take tourism as their main occupation and planting as a side occupation. Farmers' identity can change from farming to combining farming and business. Farming households can operate independently or form private enterprises, attracting farmers to vigorously develop sightseeing agriculture, ecological agriculture and premium agriculture.
Resource productization
Rural means of production and living are converted into tourism products with sightseeing, experiential and leisure value, and differentiated development must be carried out within a certain region. Specifically, there are models such as pastoral agricultural tourism, folk custom tourism, agritainment tourism, village and township tourism, leisure vacation tourism, and popular science education tourism.
