The campaign, which runs from 1 to 7 September, aims to highlight the naturally delicious flavour of British lamb and its environmental credentials helping to shape the British landscape.
This year, farming influencers will get involved across social channels to highlight shepherds and their pies, providing a twist on the traditional shepherd's pie recipe.
The AHDB has produced new and improved lamb guides, delicious recipe images and posters, and health and environment infographics to help you amplify the unique qualities of lamb.
