Supporting confident conversations about food, health and sustainability.

At AHDB, our Human Nutrition and Health team ensures that all our nutrition communications are grounded in robust, evidence-based science. Guided by dietary recommendations from the UK Government, we promote healthy, balanced and sustainable diets that include nutrient-dense foods such as red meat and dairy alongside fruits, vegetables, wholegrains and pulses.

This section was developed to support healthcare and nutrition professionals, providing evidence-based resources and practical information to inform practice, professional development and conversations with patients, the public and clients.

Building confidence

By aligning our work with public health priorities and proactively addressing emerging nutrition and sustainability topics, we aim to build confidence in the role of British dairy and red meat within healthy dietary patterns. This supports informed conversations, evidence-based decision making and a greater understanding of the contribution these foods can make to our health and wellbeing.
