About the Business
Welcome to AgResearch (Ruakura Research Centre), located in Hamilton, Waikato, New Zealand. As an establishment and point of interest, our institution is dedicated to enhancing the value, productivity, and profitability of New Zealand's pastoral, agri-food, and agri-technology sectors.
Our main goal is to contribute to the economic growth of the country while also achieving positive environmental and social outcomes. We achieve this through our diverse range of scientific capabilities, which cover a wide range of fields including farm systems, climate change mitigation and adaptation, pest control, and high-value foods.
One area of focus is the science behind value-added foods, as well as ingredients and bio-alternatives that maximize the use and profitability of agriculture. We also conduct research to support the development of fit-for-purpose plants and animals, ensuring profitability, sustainability, and overall well-being. Additionally, we work to increase the resilience of food-producing systems under a changing climate and improve the performance of agricultural systems in response to evolving environmental, cultural, societal, and economic demands.
At AgResearch, we believe in the importance of integrating Mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledge) with science to promote the thriving of te taiao (the natural world) and Māori communities. We are also committed to helping the world transition to new, more efficient, productive, and safer agri-food systems.
Our scientists are constantly working to gain a better understanding of the complexities of the digestive tract of ruminants. Through our New Zealand Bioeconomy in a Digital Age (NZBIDA) program, which is funded by the Strategic Science Investment Fund (SSIF), we are researching the future of dairy farming.
Furthermore, we are proud to have been part of an NZ Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) funded project that aimed to assist the Solomon Islanders in finding a solution to an invasive beetle.
In addition to our research, we also provide resources such as the evaluation of the science evidence behind "grass-fed" livestock production and the production of a handbook for farmers and others interested in growing and learning about tagasaste.

"Grew up on the farm from 1944. Till 1950.My parents C W BIRCH & Mrs E A BIRCH Were there till they retired some years later. Growing up on the farm was great and to be associated with Dr McMeekan and Mr M J CAMPBELL was something to be hold. My brother (Sir William Birch) Bill and myself enjoyed the social side of the sports club ,Been able to play tennis & cricket.The first year or so mother was their cook come what may at the Home stead which catered for some 20 plus men,the homestead to us kids was like living a dream The memories I have of living at Ruakura are vast too many to tell in such a short space of time .WALTER BIRCH"
