The Hidden Harvest: Harnessing Colorado's Geodiversity and Environmental Heterogeneity for Sustainable Agritourism

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Colorado's geologic, pedologic, topographic, hydrological, and climatic contrasts create strong but under‐synthesized opportunities for sustainable agritourism. This review investigates how geodiversity, and the broader environmental heterogeneity within which it operates, can be used to diversify farm income, strengthen place‐based visitor ...
