The Agri-Tourist Podcast
Do you yearn for travel that involves outdoor adventure and learning? I do! I also have a passion for all things farming and agriculture. I’ve traveled to exotic jungles to learn about growing chocolate. I even owned my own organic vegetable and sunflower farm. And now I’m planning my journey back to agriculture.
Agritoursim - defined as travel that involves some type of agricultural experience - Agritourism is all about entertaining. But the marketing strategist in me knows that, at its core, agritourism is really about educating. And education effects change.
My future farm needs to deliver a profound experience to all of its visitors. It needs to educate people about food, health, and climate. Join me to learn from experienced agritourism farmers and entrepreneurs and help me build my future farm strategy!
And, who knows, maybe one day soon you’ll find yourself in a tropical jungle cutting open cacao pods with a machete OR savoring an outdoor plant to plate community dinner with 100 guests at a farm in Illinois.
So let’s tap into the agri-tourist in you!

Agritourism involves travel, entertainment, adventure and agriculture, but, at its core, agritourism is really about connecting and educating. Join me to learn from experienced agritourism farmers and entrepreneurs, and help me build my future farm strategy.
She’s a young, inspiring agri-entrepreneur—and the CEO and Founder of Change Food for Good. Her name is Samia, also known as Sam Lemfadli. Sam is a Brooklyn native and technologist with a deep-rooted passion for sustainable agriculture.
She founded Change Food for Good, a New York City–based nonprofit dedicated to making sustainable agricultural technology more accessible in communities affected by food insecurity. Let’s pause on that for a moment—a nonprofit dedicated to making sustainable agricultural technology more accessible to areas impacted by food insecurity.
Sam recognized that technology is a key ingredient in feeding people, and she was driven to put those tools into the hands of individuals who want to learn, create, and innovate. Through her work, Change Food for Good motivates, inspires, and trains people to understand technology, build it, and invent new agricultural solutions—especially for urban environments.
Sam saw an important need and stepped forward to fill it. To date, she has placed over 200 program graduates into jobs and continues to bridge technology and agriculture through several innovative, community-based programs.
When I speak with people like Samia, I’m truly humbled by the depth and breadth of their vision—their foresight, their drive, and their willingness to take a leap of faith in pursuit of what they believe in. It reminds me of other changemakers I’ve had the privilege to interview, like Giany, Executive Director of Carolina Human Reinvestment, or Emily Stone, founder of Uncommon Cacao, who disrupted the global cacao economy.
I think you’ll feel humbled and inspired as well. Enjoy my conversation with Samia from Change Food for Good.
