The Agritec Centre is attached to the Wintec Research Office, located on AgResearch's Tokanui Farm, and aims to facilitate real-world solutions to agricultural issues.

Benefitting students, staff, our training courses, community, industry and the region, our research projects are diverse and multi-faceted. From creating a new best practice guide for tree climbing to understanding the critical factors that affect small business entrepreneurs when they trade internationally to an application that allows dairy farmers to easily schedule and manage rosters for their employees. No research challenge is too big or too small.

We are involved with integrated, collaborative research across all the schools and disciplines within Wintec. Our researchers have a wealth of experience in different fields and are well connected with industry, so are more than qualified to provide relevant and applicable research.
