As a farmer himself, The Prince is Patron or President of a number of organisations that help to preserve rural communities and protect British agriculture.
HRH established @countrysidefund in 2010, a charity that aims to improve the prospects of family farm businesses and the quality of rural life.
On accepting the award, The Prince of Wales said: “Thank you again for this much-appreciated award. Above all, it will continue to inspire me to hope that we can see a future for this country in concentrating on developing a reputation for the most environmentally-friendly food production system in the world, with products that tell a really good “story”, emphasize the importance of native breeds, support family farms and put soil health and fertility at the centre of the entire process.”
