Prince William: Successor to the throne spends the day on a farm

Prince William (42) gave himself an insight into a sustainable project in Cornwall when visiting a farm. The British heir to the throne was a guest on January 28th at the Lower Blakemere Farm in Hereford, England. This is one of seven farms from the “Net Zero” project that tries to reduce the greenhouse gases in Cornwall to zero due to regenerative agriculture.

Prince William shared several pictures that show him in a good mood at the multi -generation operation. He let the farmers show the agricultural equipment and the grain storage and accompanied them for his walk across the courtyard to look at the composting projects.

Then he came together with several farmers at a table to discuss the ongoing project for environmental renovation. The Duchy of Cornwall has set itself the ambitious goal of reaching “net zero”, ie net zero by the end of 2032. This means that “we have the greenhouse gases we produce with the amount we remove from the atmosphere. Farmers are the absolute key to achieve this,” says the contribution on the net.

In the photos you can also see how Prince William grabs a box with worms, in which kitchen waste is composted with the help of the animals. “He went in right away,” said court owner Heather Gorrings later. “He wanted to know if we could recreate this on a larger scale. This is something that we will take into account in the next composting project.”

William is “such a nice guy,” she added. “He seems to be really down -to -earth – and much larger than I have ever imagined. And he loved the worms, that was really great.”

Like his father King Charles III. (76) Very for environmental and nature conservation. In 2020, for example, he launched the Earth Shot Prize, which characterizes the most innovative solutions for environmental problems and promotes prize money.
