My RAU experience

I chose to study here because of the good reputation the RAU has built in Zimbabwe. The course specifically focused on the farm management aspect of agriculture hence it was exactly what I needed for my career.

The Royal Agricultural University (RAU) is proud to be one of the first universities in the country to screen Six Inches of Soil, a British independent feature documentary shining a spotlight on soil health and regenerative farming.

The film, which follows three new farmers on the first year of their regenerative journey, is an inspiring story of British farmers standing up against the industrial food system and transforming the way they produce food - to heal the soil, benefit our health, and provide for local communities.

Archaeologists from the Royal Agricultural University (RAU) are appealing for help to find out more about a large Elizabethan house which once stood in, what is now, a Lydney secondary school’s playing fields.

The house - Whitecross Manor - was built in the 1570s for English mariner and landowner Admiral Sir William Wyntour, on land which is now home to the Dean Academy (formerly Whitecross School) in the town’s Church Road, but it was burned and demolished in April 1645 during the Civil War.
