Inside the Duchy of Cornwall which aired last week on ITV featured charity Send a Cow in the first of two episodes. Richie Alford from Abergavenny, who is Director of Research and Impact for the charity, met HRH Duke of Cambridge during filming.

The organisation has been tenants of the Duchy for over 30 years, and HRH The Prince of Wales has been president of Send a Cow since 2009.

Prince Charles: Inside the Duchy of Cornwall celebrates The Prince of Wales’ 50th working year overseeing the Duchy estate and his love of organic farming.

Through training in these farming techniques, as well as gender equality and business skills, Send a Cow helps families in rural Africa grow enough food and generate sustainable incomes.

Working in six countries, including Uganda, and with the support of people from across the UK, Send a Cow has helped over two million people to eradicate hunger and poverty.

Richie Alford, who met HRH The Duke of Cambridge in last week’s episode, said, ‘‘It was a real honour to meet His Royal Highness as part of his visit to the charity. He was very passionate and informed about the complex issues facing African smallholder farmers today, such as gender issues and climate change. He was very interested and engaged in hearing of our African-designed solutions to these problems.”

‘‘I very much hope he can visit some of our farmers in Africa and see the work Send a Cow is doing to support them.’’
