Participating in the 46th Fair of the Brazilian Association of Travel Agencies, held in São Paulo (SP), the special secretary of Family Agriculture and Agrarian Development (Sead), Jefferson Coriteac, highlighted the importance of adding tourism to the actions of family agriculture in Brazil.
For him, in addition to rural tourism, small producers can explore other areas, such as gastronomy.
“Family farming has to be widely publicized. Today, 70% of the food that goes to the [Brazilian] worker’s table comes from family farming. It’s all about the spread of family farming and the spread of tourism, “Coriteac told Agência Brasil.
Still according to Sead’s secretary, the products of family farming need to be better publicized. And focusing on actions such as tourism can contribute to this. “Tourism is one more market we are opening, one more trench we are opening, and our family farmer has a sales channel for his product,” said the secretary.
