In June 2018, AHDB was successful in applying for grant funding to undertake a five-year Dairy Improvement Programme (DIP) which is made possible through the Rural Development Programme 2014-2020, which is funded by the Welsh Government and the European Union. One of the strategic projects delivered through the Programme is HerdAdvance.

The aim is to recruit up to 500 farmers to participate in HerdAdvance. Services Required AHDB requires suppliers who can provide: 1. An initial review of the project interventions and an assessment of how they relate to behaviour change theories. 2.
