Tourism in social farming contexts has important implications for the inclusive development of rural areas. However, current literature on the topic is still scarce and many organizational aspects of this activity are still unexplored. To provide a systematic understanding of the phenomenon, this study presents a literature review to identify tourism in social farming as a form of social innovation. The results of this research reveal how tourism in social farming responds to specific societal challenges, how it fosters social actors’ agency and which kind of relationships it stimulates among them. In the end, a comprehensive framework is proposed. Conclusions will detail the theoretical and practical implications of this study while leaving room for reflection on future research.
