In addition to Marcus Rashford Charles also recognized the work of chef Jamie Oliver and Henry Dimbleby for helping the nation in its quest to go, “from field to fork.”
Charles also gave a shout out to FarmED, a new center for farm and food education at Honeydale Farm, in Oxfordshire. He visited the center in June. There he met with FarmED founders Ian and Celene Wilkinson and toured the fields with them.
According to the Daily Mail, “FarmED provides learning spaces and events that inspire, educate, and connect people to build sustainable farming and food systems – something which healthy soil is crucial to, say experts.”
Charles finished his impassion plea by noting, “If we regenerate degraded soils around the world, we could capture as much as 70% of the world’s carbon emissions. Only by benefitting nature can we benefit people.”

I absolutely agree with Prince Charles, big box is killing the little guy and what this world needs is to get back to the little guy and his ideas of life, the little guy is what makes the world go around, they started out small and fed the world and we need that as big box takes and takes and gives little back to the country, be it any country. Big *A* is a great example of killing the little stores around the country…ma and pop stores need to come back to bring families together and help the community.
Prince Charles is absolutely correct about this issue!
