The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) is an umbrella organisation which markets and researches the UK agricultural industry. It is an Executive Non-Departmental Public Body of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), which is funded by the agriculture and horticulture industries through statutory levies paid by farmers and growers. The AHDB was established in 2008 under the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006 and the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board Order 2008. It became operational on 1 April 2008 and replaced five previous non-departmental public bodies which were similarly levy-funded:
