The Royal Agricultural Society of England (RASE) is an independent charity dedicated to the application of science and technology to optimise agriculture and food resources to ensure a secure global future. Since it was set up in 1838, the RASE has supported farming and rural industries by disseminating information about the latest research, developments and practices. Today we still work to bring the best of British agriculture to the attention of our members and the wider rural industries through our shows, events, conferences and awards.
