The Agricultural Research Trust
Our mission is to provide Zimbabwean farmers with the latest agronomic research and best practices for sustainable and profitable farming.
Regenerative Agriculture
Since 1984, the farm has led efforts in conservation tillage and rotational grazing. With growing global interest in regenerative agriculture, ART is transforming its commercial farm into a model for sustainable practices in Zimbabwe. The RAISE project supports this transition through research and extension work, focusing on both industrial and smallholder farms to promote regenerative agriculture.
About The Farm
The Trust farm, located north of Harare, operates at high elevation with substantial rainfall. It includes a field laboratory for research, areas for commercial crop production, and both grazing and irrigated pastures. The farm supports a beef and pig unit, utilizing a robust irrigation system. The soil is fertile with excellent water retention, suitable for various agricultural activities.
