Very honoured to be awarded the Associateship of the Royal Agricultural Societies at the House of Lords yesterday and to be accompanied by my husband, Rob. I was humbled when hearing of the significant contribution all the other recipients have made to the agricultural community and the food industry over so many, many years.
It was really interesting to go to the NFU Tenants Conference last week and here a presentation by Alan Laidlaw, the Commissioner for the Tenant Farming Sector . In England, 45% of holdings are either wholly tenanted or mixed tenure, and a third of all agricultural land in England is tenanted. This leadership role has a wide remit and significant potential for positive outcomes and impacts. This role will require courageous leadership the subject of a previous post on this blog.
