🌾🚜 Yesterday, The Duchess of Edinburgh as Honorary President of @LEAF_Farming visited farmers at the Leckford Estate in Hampshire ahead of Open Farm Sunday on 7th June.

Open Farm Sunday, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, has given over 3.5 million people the opportunity to visit working farms, meet the people who produce their food and learn more about the vital role farming plays in the environment, the economy and rural communities.

Her Royal Highness joined the LEAF team at the farm, helping set up a haybale maze and hanging welcome banners around the site.

Thank you to HRH The Duchess of Edinburgh, the team at Leckford Estate, and all our Open Farm Sunday host farmers & volunteers who came today to kick off our 20th year. We hope to see you on 7 June at a farm near you. 🚜

This is what Open Farm Sunday is all about: engaging all generations with hands-on learning about where our food comes from and how farmers care for soil, wildlife, and the environment while feeding communities.

Brazil’s Cerrado has lost 1 million km² in 50 years. It supports South America’s water, yet its loss is linked to soy and beef demand. The UK imports 90% soy for livestock feed, linking to this loss. @Pulse_PEP is working to break this link through more sustainable supply chains.
