Mzuri Ltd, a leading innovator in agricultural technology, is thrilled to announce that its ground breaking Mzuri System is recognised as the optimal method of establishment in alignment with government funding initiatives and sustainable farming directives.

Amidst global efforts to prioritise sustainable agriculture practices, Mzuri’s commitment to innovation and environmental stewardship has positioned the company as a key player in driving positive change within the industry. The Mzuri System, renowned for its effectiveness in promoting soil health, reducing carbon footprint, and enhancing crop yields, has gained widespread approval from farmers, agronomists and policy makers.

In a significant development, Mzuri’s comprehensive product range has been approved under the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) and Farming Equipment and Technology Fund (FETF) grant schemes. This recognition underscores Mzuri’s dedication to facilitating sustainable farming practices and aligning with governmental efforts to incentivise environmentally friendly agricultural methods.

“We are delighted that the Mzuri System has been acknowledged as the preferred method of establishment by governmental bodies and sustainability advocates,” said Martin Lole, Farmer, Engineer, and Founder of Mzuri Ltd. “This recognition reaffirms our commitment to empowering farmers with innovative solutions that not only optimise productivity but also promote environmental resilience and long-term sustainability.”

The SFI and FETF grant schemes, due to be released soon, will provide farmers with financial support to invest in equipment and technologies that advance sustainable agricultural practices. By approving the Mzuri product range, governments are actively endorsing solutions that contribute to soil conservation, biodiversity preservation, and overall farm profitability.

With the Mzuri System now recognised as a cornerstone of sustainable farming initiatives, farmers can leverage these grants to adopt cutting-edge technologies that enhance their operational efficiency while minimizing environmental impact.

In 2023 Mzuri Ambassador, Mr Adam Lewis of Herefordshire, purchased his Pro-Til Select Dual Tank 3T drill with the help of the FETF grant. The grant funded £25,000 towards the cost of the drill which has gone on to provide considerable cost savings over Mr Lewis’s previous conventional system. Not only has Mr Lewis seen his cost of establishment drop, but he has also noted increased yields and better soil health thanks to the switch to Mzuri’s single pass technology.

Mr Lewis commented “The grant has been fantastic for updating our existing system and has allowed us to make the changes needed to secure a sustainable long-term future, both for our business but also the environment”.

Additionally, Mzuri Ambassador Mr Will Massie from Shropshire also bought a Pro-Til Select Dual Tank 4T drill with the support of the FETF grant.

Mr Massie was successfully granted £25,000 towards the cost of the drill in 2023. By investing in the Mzuri system, the farm has increased productivity and sustainability. The one-pass system allows a single operator to comfortably drill 100 acres. This has doubled the farms output and comes with reduced establishment costs, from 25 litres per hectare to just 10 litres per hectare making a huge saving in cost of establishment.

Mr Massie commented “The FETF grant created an opportunity for the farm to invest in the Mzuri system which has increased the sustainable practices of the farm without affecting yield. As a result, our cost of establishment has reduced, and the productivity of the farm has increased; whilst improving soil structure and reducing our carbon footprint.”

Mzuri believe that crop establishment is the single greatest influence on your bottom line.
