Summary
This 2026 technical guidance from the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) proposes a standardised framework for assessing environmental baselines across UK farming and horticulture. The framework appears designed to harmonise environmental measurement practices and enable consistent benchmarking against policy priorities, whilst supporting devolved agricultural governance across the constituent nations. As a Welsh-language publication, it reflects AHDB's commitment to multilingual stakeholder engagement and accessibility.
