Description

AHDB recognises that the environment, climate change and sustainability are critically important to the future of the agricultural industry and society as a whole. Livestock sectors are under pressure from messages to eat less meat and dairy and arable farmers are having to respond to changes which may bring about changes in terms of use of fertilisers, chemical pest and disease control and methods of production. Additionally, farmers are having to respond to both Governmental and industry-led Net Zero targets for the sector, as well as a changing landscape for agricultural support schemes with a focus on delivering environmental benefits.

AHDB are seeking a partner to support their work on the environment during a critical period for the farming community, and AHDB's own strategic development.

We are looking for a partner with strong technical capabilities, who can combine commercial and on-farm experience in environment practices with in-depth knowledge of the environment policy landscape in the UK, as well as involvement in driving research within the environment sphere.

The partner must be an influential and respected communicator at all levels, able to clearly describe technically difficult subjects to a non-technical audience, as well as debate environment practices with subject experts.
