Abstract

This Paper traces the history since its 1970 launch, operation and impacts of the scheme for peer recognition of outstanding contributions to agricultural progress within the UK. The Council for Awards (CARAS) is sponsored by the four national Royal Agricultural Societies (RAS) of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland andWales. CARAS awards Associateships (ARAgS) and Fellowships (FRAgS), under a Constitution reframed in 1984, revised in 1990. Potential Associates are invited to apply by National Panels in the four nations and required to provide a submission of their work to date, with two existing Fellows (FRAgS) to provide sponsor letters. Subject to satisfactory submission and sponsors’ letters, two Assessors are appointed from among existing Fellows to meet each candidate. The Assessors’ joint Report is then considered by a Moderator’s Panel of CARAS, which approves Associateships (ARAgS). Advancements to Fellowship (FRAgS) are conditional upon further outstanding contributions to UK agricultural progress based on citations to CARAS. The Paper reviews diverse benefits hypothesised for those thus recognised and some collective activities of members. It seeks to evaluate the impact of these awards in motivating excellence for UK agricultural progress and public benefit by analysis of responses from almost 600 recipients of the awards.
