Caroline Drummond, who has died of cancer aged 58, was a pioneer of sustainable farming and food production, and for more than 30 years the driving force behind the global charity LEAF (Linking Environment and Farming).

A passionate and energetic advocate of helping consumers better understand agriculture and its connection with their food, Caroline led LEAF from its inception in 1991, and as chief executive expanded it into a globally recognised and respected organisation. Through its network of demonstration farms – managed to the highest standards – it aims to showcase good practice to farmers and the public.
