Food from Britain (FFB) came into existence on 23 March 1983 with the dissolution of the Central Council for Agricultural and Horticultural Co-operation. The functions of the Central Council transferred to FFB under the Agricultural Marketing Act 1983. It was established as a Non-Departmental Public Body (NDPB) by the Act 'to improve the marketing of food produced or processed in the United Kingdom and of other agricultural produce of the United Kingdom'.
FFB managed DEFRA's relationship with the food sector and food stakeholders; covering food aspects of emergency planning; regional and local food policy; providing a single contact point for DEFRA's input to other food policy areas, such as health, labelling, competition and assurance schemes. FFB were sponsored by DEFRA and come under the Food and Farming Group.
