Food and Landscape Policies for Sustainable Tourism: Integrating Agriculture, Culture and Urban Development

Sustainable tourism is a global challenge that integrates social, economic, and environmental dimensions. This research explores food and landscape policies as key strategies to promote ecotourism while preserving and enhancing both natural and cultural heritage. These approaches foster connections between tourists, local communities, and resources by encouraging sustainable agricultural practices, the valorization of local food products, and responsible landscape management. Sustainable tourism supports landscape conservation, improves residents' quality of life, and stimulates a more resilient local economy. Moreover, integrating food and landscape into tourism strategies fosters authentic experiences, where tourists actively participate in the care and appreciation of the territory, strengthening environmental and cultural awareness.
