Our people

“I have been constantly amazed and heartened by the resilience, adaptability and ingenuity of the family farms that still form the backbone (and quite a few other bones, too) of our rural communities. Yet it is all too clear that even bigger changes are needed as we transition rapidly – as we must if we are to survive – to a world in which sustainability becomes a central organising principle.”

More than ten years since HM King Charles III, then The Prince of Wales, founded his Countryside Fund, his vision for a thriving countryside continues to inspire our work.
