User:Jgrantduff/Gathorne Gathorne-Hardy, 5th Earl of Cranbrook

The present Earl is a farmer and Food Biologist. He was educated at Eton and Cambridge, where he met his wife Caroline, the present Countess. The Earl spends much of his time in the Far East campaigning against the effects of Global Warming on farming and food production.

His wife Caroline (a recent guest on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs) is a renowned academic and writer-campaigner on the imperilled position of farming and food production in Britain as well as abroad. She was a major force in the drive against the rising power of Supermarkets which she predicted as early as 1976. Her constant support for small shops in villages and towns has led to critics to identify greater diversity amongst organic foods. She has highlighted the threats to the climate and environment from huge corporate business dominating the markets in the locale.
