Summary

This AHDB market intelligence synthesis examines emerging flexitarian and reducetarian dietary trends amongst UK consumers through secondary data and industry insights. Rather than presenting primary empirical research, it serves as a policy-facing resource for agricultural stakeholders navigating consumption shifts away from animal-product-dominant dietary patterns. The report identifies business model adaptations required across supply chains in response to evolving consumer preferences, though specific quantitative prevalence estimates or longitudinal trend data are not detailed in the available metadata.
