Life AgriScience

Making applied research and science accessible, feasible, and cost effective, without compromising the quality of project outcomes, for our clients across all industries. We provide our clients the tools and technical support to better understand their own products and services, using a science-based approach.

Historically, the bulk of research in Southern Africa has been undertaken by the university sector, government research units, science councils, and industry associations.

With the steady decline in recent years in funding and governance of governmental institutes and facilities, the business world in Southern Africa has been forced to look at alternative research partners in the private sector abroad. Consequently, making research inaccessible or impractical for many businesses. Subsequently, Life AgriScience was established to bridge the gap between the business sector, research and development, and academia, and act as an independent research facilitator. Thereby making applied research accessible to all business sectors in South Africa.

Our objectives:

• Applied Scientific Research support on-farm (onsite) and on-station (at our facility)
• A platform for industry to test their products, technologies, innovations and services independently
• Technology demonstration
• Platform for post graduate students to conduct on-farm / station research
• Creating a link between tertiary education and industry
• Train post graduate students according to industry requirements
• Provide internship programs
• Provide an environment for professional development and mentorship
