THE Prince of Wales visited Dorset yesterday, in his first public appearance in more than a year. His Royal Highness Prince Charles returned to Poundbury yesterday to visit Rainbarrow Farm to see an anaerobic digester plant and officially open BioCarbonics, a green carbon dioxide energy supplier for use by the food and drink and horticultural industry. The Prince, who usually visits his Poundbury estate twice a year, returned publicly for the first time since December 2019. During his visit, Prince Charles, who has long championed sustainability, met with board members from J V Energen, a joint venture partnership between the Duchy of Cornwall, local famers and agricultural consultants Active Business Partnership.
