About Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board
The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) is a statutory levy board, funded by farmers, growers and others in the supply chain to help the industry succeed in a rapidly changing world. We want to create a world-class food and farming industry, inspired by and competing with the best.
Our purpose is to make our agriculture and horticulture industries more competitive and sustainable through factual, evidence-based advice, information and activity:
• We manage extensive research and development programmes which are delivering scientifically robust and commercially useful outcomes for our levy payers
• We undertake efficient farm-level knowledge transfer programmes based on evidence, both from third-party science and our own R&D, aimed at improving efficiency, productivity and sustainability
• We provide unbiased, high-quality market information that helps business decision making and improves supply chain transparency
• We carry out export market development work and also domestic marketing activity to inspire and inform consumers in order to assist the economic viability of sectors which require this
• We raise awareness of food and where it comes from among school children and we help ensure the agriculture and horticulture industries are able to develop and attract workers with the skills they need
• We also ensure that proper account is taken of Government priorities for agriculture and the agri-food industry, where appropriate.

Growing, together
- The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) is a statutory levy board, funded by farmers, growers and others in the supply chain to help the industry succeed in a rapidly changing world. We want to create a world-class food and farming industry, inspired by and competing with the best.
- Change is happening faster than ever and we’re entering a defining time for the industry. We’re on the cusp of a new agricultural revolution, with a shifting landscape where driving productivity and maintaining competitiveness is key to our farmers succeeding.
- We have a responsibility to get farmers ready for the change that’s coming and helping them to not only survive but thrive. There are exciting opportunities for those willing to grasp them – we want to unite the whole industry around a common goal to lift productivity, bringing people together to collaborate, innovate and drive change.
Inspiring to succeed
- To succeed in this rapidly changing world, we need to be focused on the future. That means having a bold vision – but also staying true to the values at the heart of the farming and processing communities we serve.
- So whether we’re introducing tools to help farmers improve profitability, advising on reducing pesticide use or developing new markets for our farmers and processors’ products, we’re passionate about inspiring farmers, and growers and processors to achieve their full potential – striving for excellence so they can compete with the best around the globe.
- We put people at the heart of everything we do – be that through encouraging collaboration through our network of Strategic and Monitor Farms, providing nutritional information to educate children about where their food comes from, or developing apprenticeships for the next generation. We are the critical friend, who speaks honestly but offers support that can be relied upon.
Hundreds of people, working together for farmers
- We work for more than 100,000 farming and supply chain businesses across the country. Our main team is based at Stoneleigh in Warwickshire supported by a 100 force of regional officers up and down the country out getting hands on with farmers, growers and processors. Our international team develop export markets in new countries such as China and the Far East, as well as looking after key markets for UK exports such as France and Belgium.
