Abstract

The paper presents the educational offer of agritourism farms in Poland. The research was carried out at the Department of European Policy and Marketing of the Warsaw University of Life Sciences (SGGW) in 2017 using the diagnostic sampling method and a questionnaire technique. The educational activity of the agritourism farms was evaluated, taking into account such factors as: economic and structural conditions, natural and cultural qualities, tourism development, thematic profiles of farms: education, production, service or care. At present, we have unlimited access to a lot of information through the development of new technologies. Certain knowledge is therefore required to understand educational processes, relations with the environment and setting new requirements for agritourism farms that wish to expand their activities in the field of educational challenges. The surveyed agritourism farms offer their customers a very wide and diversified range of educational profiles. The most frequently offered activity profiles of farms include: sport and recreation, arts and crafts, agricultural and farming activities as well as traditional food.
