Agritourism has been recognized as an entrepreneurial activity that has the potential to diversify agricultural businesses and stimulate rural development of surrounding communities. From 2007-2012, the number of farms and ranches with agritourism in the U.S. grew 42%, and grew 27% in Colorado. Most Colorado agritourism operations and counties with high agritourism revenues are located near natural capital and/or assets, such as those in the Rocky Mountain region, or near urban centers with a population drawn to naturalamenities such as the Front Range., Anders Van Sandt and Dawn Thilmany., "February 2018.", Online resource; title from PDF caption (viewed May 2020)
We examine positive links between school attendance and student achievement in the context of secondary schools in Nepal via original data collection matched to administrative records. We pay attention to gender since previous work is suggestive of menstruation affecting school attendance in this context. We also examine other non-attendance determinants of achievement, including individual and family-related characteristics, for comparison. This ongoing research contributes to understanding gender disparities in access to education and educational attainment as relevant to UN Sustainable Development Goals., Niroj Bhattarai, Anita Alves Pena and Alexandra Bernasek., "June 2019.", Online resource; title from PDF caption (viewed May 2020)
