Prince of Wales owns 135,000 acres in the South-West.
"This is a call to revolution" - Perhaps Charles needs some help with this whole revolution thingy.

The revolution IS coming! - Prince of Wales calls for revolution – albeit a 'sustaiTnable' one, so thats alright then!
The Prince of Wales is a major land-holder in the South-west of England, with thousands of tenants and farmers living and working on 'his' land.
The value of the Prince of Wales's Duchy of Cornwall estate, which stretches over 135,000 acres of mostly rural land across 23 counties mainly in the south-west of England, was last year estimated at £647 million.
A 10 per cent rise in the value of the rural land in recent years, which dominates the Duchy portfolio, will have added tens of millions more to the estate which was created by Edward III in 1337 to provide a private income for the heir to the throne.
In 2009-10, The Prince’s income from the Duchy was £17.1 million.
The call to revolution turns out, disappointingly, to be a demand for greater sustainability.
In Prince Charles's new book, Harmony, he advocates a 'whole-istic' approach......
"I don't want my grandchildren – or yours – to come along and say, 'Why the hell didn't you do something about this? You knew what the problem was.' That's what motivates me," says the Prince of Wales in an accompanying television documentary, sitting in an elegant cream suit in the garden of his country home at Highgrove. "I can only, somehow, imagine that I find myself being born into this position for a purpose."
"In those early years I was described as old-fashioned, out of touch and anti-science; a dreamer in the modern world that clearly thought itself too sophisticated for 'obsolete' ideas and techniques, but I could see the stakes were already far too high ... Even back at the end of the 'swinging 60s' the damage was showing through and I felt it was my duty to warn of the consequences of ignoring nature's intrinsic tendency towards harmony and balance before it was all too late."
