The Royal Agricultural Society of England’s awards recognise individuals and organisations leading the way in agriculture. The awards also showcase examples of which others can learn from and be inspired by.
All RASE awards are open to members and non-members, except the Long Service Award, where the nominator must be a member of the society. To enter for an award, or to nominate someone else, contact Emily Stillwell at emilys@rase.org.uk.
