In this special episode of Talk Farm, HCR Law joins forces with the Royal Agricultural Society of the Commonwealth (“RASC”) to share perspectives on all things agriculture from beyond our shores.
We are joined by Chris Riddle, a Trustee of the RASC and former CEO of the Royal Cornwall Agricultural Association. The RASC host a biannual conference with speakers from across the commonwealth – last year it was held in Edinburgh, and next year it will take place in Cape Town.
Chris introduced us to Jessica and Ella Underberg, who join us for this episode.
Jessica is CEO of the Erie County Agricultural Society and its namesake fair, which attracts a mind-blowing one million visitors across 12 days. The Society’s mission statement is to, “preserve and enhance, by educational endeavours, the historical and agricultural legacy of New York State.”
Her daughter Ella has followed in her footsteps, previously serving as President of Future Farmers of America (FFA). As she prepares for college, Ella shares what agriculture means to her and what she thinks the role of her generation is in taking the sector into the future.
Their wide-ranging conversation, hosted by firm Partner Rory Hutchings, covers:
· The mood music in America
· How different countries can learn from each other in tackling shared agricultural challenges
· Making space for agriculture in school curriculums
· How Future Farmers of America compares to Young Farmers in the UK and the role of both in the agricultural community
· The importance of education and people knowing where their food comes from
· The role of agriculturalists in the green movement
· Embracing technology and innovations across the sector
In increasingly turbulent times for agriculture and landed estates, Talk Farm sets out to identify the human impacts of legal and political developments, offering industry commentary and practical guidance that cuts through the noise. If you’ve got a query about agricultural law, the team is always happy to help: www.hcrlaw.com/sector/agriculture-environment-and-estates/
We’ll be collaborating with the RASC again to hear more global perspectives on all things agriculture, so make sure you’re subscribed to be notified of future episodes.
