Trinity AgTech founder and executive chairman appointed as Trustee of RASE
The Royal Agricultural Society of England (RASE) has elected Dr Hosein Khajeh-Hosseiny, founder and executive chairman of Trinity Natural Capital, and Trinity AgTech, as a Trustee.
Formally announced at the society’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) earlier this month, Dr Khajeh-Hosseiny is keen to apply his experience and leadership in ag-tech to the role.
In his role as Trustee, Dr Khajeh-Hosseiny will work closely with the RASE Board to provide strategic guidance and support for the society’s initiatives. Mr David Grint, chief executive officer of RASE says: “We’re delighted to welcome Hosein to RASE’s board of trustees.
“As a society we’re firmly focused on the future, creating opportunities for our members and the wider agricultural community to see the technologies, innovations and approaches that will increase the resilience of farm businesses.
“Hosein’s perspective and expertise will be invaluable in guiding our organisation in the next stage of its journey.”
Dr Khajeh-Hosseiny said: “I’m particularly looking forward to collaborating with the Board and members of the society to further shared goals of advancing natural capital, innovation, and supporting farmers in adopting sustainable and profitable practices.”
His appointment comes at a pivotal time for the agricultural sector, as the industry faces increasing demands to produce more nutritious food with fewer resources while minimising environmental impact.
“My appointment signifies RASE's recognition that we’re in the ‘Natural Capital Century’, highlighting the remarkable new opportunities it presents to agriculture and society at large.
“It emphasises the need to embed natural capital at the core of our global financial system and establish an equitable reward structure in our economy. It highlights the crucial role of credible and trusted methods and innovations in capitalising on the growing number of available opportunities.”
