Victoria Vyvyan, who succeeds Mark Tufnell as the 56th president in the Association’s 116-year history, has outlined those as priorities that will be at the heart of her presidency.

Victoria said: “I want every landowner, every farmer, every rural entrepreneur to know that the CLA is on their side. As President, I will be unrelenting in pursuit of an environment that allows our businesses, our landscapes and our way of life to thrive.

“This is a crucial time for farming and the rural economy, and the unique role that the CLA plays has never been more important.
