Who sets health targets?

Health targets, like the '30 plants a week' idea, often come from scientific studies. However, as Professor Davis points out in the story, these are often observations rather than strict recommendations. Reputable health bodies or medical professionals usually translate research into practical, evidence-based advice for the public.
