“…In other words, farmers who reported an increase in online sales and marketing were more likely to agree with the statement that their operation was able to respond to the pandemic and report an increase in profitability. This is in line with other pandemic research indicating that online sales played a central role in supporting farm resilience during the pandemic ( Bachman et al, 2021 ; Erjavec et al, 2021 ; Hsiao and Tuan, 2021 ; O'Connell et al, 2021 ; Schreiber et al, 2022 ). Specifically, when direct-to-consumer market channels were shut down due to pandemic-related restrictions, online platforms and social media acted as a key intermediary between farmers and consumers ( Danovich, 2020a ; Lamb, 2020 ; Meuwissen et al, 2021 ; Pretty, 2020 ).…”

“…Rural tourism is likely to have a detrimental impact on the local community if it is not managed responsibly. Local community leaders and other stakeholders in rural tourism should collaborate to manage it so that it becomes a community industry that benefits everyone in a win-win situation [17,25,26]. It is obvious that rural tourism growth has an influence on the natural environment in which it takes place as shown in Figure 2 below; representing trends in Rural tourism in the last two decades.…”

Tourisms influence on local socioeconomic development is a key issue for West African countries. It is a key industry for national economic growth. The developmental mission of local governments emphasizes the importance of tourist research and local socioeconomic development. Even though tourism has gotten attention in a growing corpus of local socioeconomic development works in West African nations, concerns surrounding agrotourism have been disregarded thus far. Agrotourism is a developing kind of agricultural tourism aimed mostly at metropolitan customers. Consequently, the primary goal of this study was to determine how Agrotourism will affect the local economies of West African countries. There is also an examination of current studies on the economic impact of rural and agrotourism on the local economy. This research concludes by laying out the requirements for effective and sustainable rural tourism, with the ultimate objective of improving lives and, eventually, the economies of West African countries.

The farming industry contributed $134.7 billion to the United States economy or roughly 0.6 percent of GDP. Farmers operating during the COVID-19 pandemic faced challenges receiving funding, retaining staff, and competing with national conglomerates. A value central to farmers includes workable solutions to feeding communities. The problem for minority farmers in Appalachia is magnetized when considering their lack of access to resources. This article highlights minority farmers' and farmers markets' contributions to the region and their struggles. I interviewed members of Organization X, a non-profit organization that seeks to provide multiple resources for Kentucky farmers and families, to understand the resources and barriers minority farmers in Appalachia encounter to during the COVID-19 pandemic. The best way to reach this understanding was to speak with individuals working directly with minority farmers and famer's markets. The researcher was interested in understanding what resources minority farmers used to survive in the Appalachian region due to the region's poverty and recent small business closures. This understanding could help farmers leverage resources to reduce the impacts of external market forces. In a personal interview, I asked representatives of the non-profit organization, Organization X, "What barriers do minority farm owners face in sustaining their operations? How has COVID-19 impacted minority farmers and farmers markets? What has your organization learned in meeting the needs of the community, and what are the future opportunities for farmers in Appalachia?" I used the SET framework to provide an understanding on customer-farmer relationships. This research helps further knowledge on tools minority farmers can use to sustain their businesses.
