The integration of tourism and agriculture in landscape architecture provides several benefits to Cultural Ecosystem Services (CES). Besides, regenerating architectural programs and activities, this integration also advocates sustainable development. The method for this integration requires agricultural to touristic usage by considering the effects on aesthetic values, and land use policies should support agricultural activities The landscape analyses and infrastructures such as roads and paths mapping or labeling scene points support the idea of agriculture to tourism usage. In terms of experiential offerings, it provides farm-to-table experiences, nurturing natural routes through the spatial richness of vineyards or olive groves.
From an economic and sociocultural perspective, agricultural tourism centers cultivate both sectors. Economically, this approach positively impacts both agriculture and tourism, presenting new approaches to landscape architecture. As agricultural areas transform into tourist attractions, tourism injects vitality into rural economies. Shared infrastructures optimize resource utilization, promoting sustainable practices such as permaculture. This integrated design approach simultaneously provides an advantage to both agricultural sustainability and tourism. It also transforms spaces aesthetically, nurtures sustainability and supports economic and social well-being.
