The Agricultural Research Trust (ART) is a self-funded research and demonstration farm. Formed in 1983, ART has been at the forefront of agriculture in Zimbabwe and has international recognition for its achievements.
Our general objectives are to provide Zimbabwean farmers with the latest agronomic research, testing of machinery and equipment, showcasing of livestock, and good practice in farm management.
A large field laboratory provides facility for contract research, demonstrations, and independently funded research. The rest of the land runs as a commercial model farm, which in part funds the organisation. Fields may also be used for demonstration of crop varieties, irrigation infrastructure, and tillage equipment, for example. The pastures and paddocks which are situated on wetland areas also provide facility for testing and demonstration of grazing practices, breeds, and handling equipment.
