観光を通した世界農業遺産の持続可能性
国連食糧農業機関(UNFAO)が取り組む世界農業遺産(GIAHS)は伝統的な農業システムを保全し、自然と調和した生活を紹介するものである。GIAHSは各地域特有の農業と生物多様性を持つ場所を指定するものである。伝統的な農業はGIAHSのコミュニティにとって主な生計手段であり、観光はその選択肢の一つである。GIAHSとして指定された地域特有の農業システムは、他の農業景観と差別化を図る。GIAHSは持続可能な観光に向けて官民連携を通じて、農業と観光の相互支援と相乗効果を促進する役割を担う。本ウェビナーではGIAHSの担当者であるUNFAOのコーディネーターと専門家がGIAHSの背景、概要及び保全戦略について説明する。パネルディスカッションでは、観光を通じたGIAHSの持続可能性と今後の方向性について協議する。今後のウェビナーでは、世界各地のGIAHS地域から代表者を招き、持続可能なGIAHS観光開発の経験と課題に焦点を当てる。
