Digital Specialist and Programmes (DSP)

Description

The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) has begun a programme of work to upgrade its Digital, Data and Technology (DDAT) services so that it can continue to meet the expanding requirements of its levy-payers. There are three key drivers for this programme - the ever-increasing need for data and market intelligence; the requirement to meet legislation and regulations in making DDAT services accessible, well-managed and secure; the drive to use emerging technologies, including AI and automation, to provide higher value services for levy-payers and the wider agriculture sector, and to do so as efficiently as possible.
