Who we are
The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) is a statutory UK levy board set-up by Parliament. We are funded through a levy paid by farmers, growers and others in the supply chain. Our purpose is to equip levy payers with independent, evidence-based information and tools that help their business to grow, become more competitive and sustainable. Established in 2008 and classified as a Non-Departmental Public Body, we support meat and livestock (cattle, sheep and pigs) in England; milk in Great Britain; and cereals and oilseeds in the UK. You can find out more about us at www.ahdb.org.uk.
Our headquarters is in Warwickshire, United Kingdom.

LearnUpon Preference Cookie |
Preference cookie |
This cookie stores short-term preferences such as the last page viewed and listing/sort order preferences on tables, etc.
In addition it has the ability to recall how far through the course a user has progressed when they log out, so that the system can be resumed from that point when they next log in. This is an essential requirement for the project so trainees are not forced to restart the course if they cannot complete it in a single sitting. |
