“…Specifically, it deals with some traditional crafts, which are part of the immaterial, ethnographic, and cultural heritage of Extremadura, assessing the causes that hinder its preservation. For this purpose, a qualitative methodology is used, based on a Delphi analysis conducted in two rounds [61,62]. Its usefulness is based on understanding the opportunities offered by these intangible assets for local territories [63][64][65].…”

Dehesas constitute one of the most relevant and traditional landscapes of the Extremadura region. However, the supremacy given to the economic–productive functionality of agricultural territories over environmental and cultural sustainability leads to the devaluation and neglect of the heritage manifestations of the rural world. Based on this premise, this study aimed to understand the current situation of some of the traditional trades of the Extremadura pasture, assessing the benefits of their conservation and determining the possible threats that hinder their preservation. In addition, it sought to articulate a proposal for solutions aimed at safeguarding them. To this end, the Delphi method was used, and 20 experts were interviewed in depth, mainly cork and charcoal extractors. The results corroborate the existence of various problems faced by the traditional trades, which compromise the conservation of the identity of the rural population and the sustainability of the dehesa. To mitigate these tensions, it was concluded that there is a need to disseminate the heritage of the dehesa through educational and agrotourism experiences to promote an increase in tourist awareness, revalue ancestral knowledge, and contribute to the conservation of intangible assets.

“…Generally, research on tourism in the Okanagan is wine centric [44,[81][82][83]; food systems, agriculture, and critical perspectives are infrequent, though Poitras and Getz's (2006) research on the host community perspective on wine tourism in the South Okanagan identified significant risks from wine tourism development to agriculture, the community and the biophysical environment. Since then, Carmichael and Senese (2012) have applied the stage model of destination development to sustainability and competitiveness of the region's wine tourism raising issues about the industry's impact on social, cultural, and environmental resources while Kerr's (2020) unpublished Master of Public Policy thesis explored the risk of overtourism in the region [84].…”

This interdisciplinary research analyses the relationships between food sovereignty principles and food and wine tourism in rural contexts by asking how rural tourism stakeholders understand these concepts, mobilize the interrelationships, and to what purpose. Wine and food tourism is one of the fastest-growing rural tourism niches, with effects on the orientation of food systems, the livelihoods of producers, the viability of rural communities, and the biophysical environment. Secondary research and semi-structured interviews provide insights into how qualities of food sovereignty transitions are conceptualized, recognized, developed, supported, and promoted in the case of British Columbia’s South Okanagan Valley. An appreciative approach was used because this research aims to understand rural food and wine tourism’s potential contribution to food sovereignty. Although the term ‘food sovereignty’ did not resonate for most participants, qualities of a transition towards food sovereignty such as reorienting agriculture, food processing and consumption to the local region, supporting rural economies and environmental sustainability were considered integral to rural food tourism. Participants saw future opportunities for rural food and wine tourism to serve broader transformative purposes that would benefit locals, visitors, and the environment. Research results could be used to inspire critical academic, community and policy dialogue about food sovereignty in wine and food tourism destinations.
