Our priorities
Industry reputation
There are a lot of mixed messages in the media around food and nutrition, meaning it’s easy to get confused. That's why we're focused on the reputation of farmers, growers and the industry as a whole. One of our core priorities is reminding and reassuring consumers that our produce is nutritionally beneficial and high quality. And we're also encouraging more commitment to the progress and adaptations required on farm to create a profitable and environmentally sustainable industry, able to make bold, proud reputational claims.
Domestic and international markets
You may have seen our We Eat Balanced campaign on national television or on social media channels, helping to promote a balanced approach to a healthy diet. We work to create a strong market for your products by developing and maintaining domestic and overseas markets and helping you give the customer what they want and enjoy. That's why we invest over £19m in marketing and export development every year.
Improving performance, profitability and costs
We're committed to bringing data, insight and analysis together in an easy-to-use format to help farmers, growers and supply chains make better business decisions. Programmes of work such as Market Insight, Farm Business Review, The Recommended Lists and Farmbench are already helping farmers and growers make evidence-based decisions to help them make their businesses more resilient and fit for the future.
Our sectors
In addition to our cross-sector projects, we also focus on a large number of sector-specific priorities. Learn more about the work we do for your business by following the links below.
