The UK's Duchy of Cornwall was established in 1337 to fund activities of the Prince of Wales; they set up the Hereford Food Partnership in more recent times to coordinate the increasing use of food and drink from the county’s fertile farms within the county, as food is fresher and more nutritious near where it is raised than anywhere else on earth.
Why? Every county in the US with any notable agricultural base should have an organization like the Partnership. Urban farms may participate as well as those in the surrounding countryside.
