Fazenda Lageado, Agricultural research farm and university campus in Botucatu, Brazil
Fazenda Lageado is an agricultural research farm and university campus in Botucatu with separate zones for crop production, experimental fields, and teaching facilities. The grounds combine active farming areas with research laboratories, creating spaces where students work with both soil and science.
The farm was established as part of the UNESP university system and later recognized as a heritage site by CONDEPHAAT for its role in agricultural research. This designation reflected the property's importance to farming innovation in the region.
The farm maintains close ties with surrounding agricultural communities through education and research that reflect regional farming traditions. Visitors can observe how local farming knowledge continues to shape both the teaching methods and experimental work done here.
The campus can be reached through several entrance points, including the main gate at Avenida Universitária 3780 and secondary entries via Rodovia Alcides Soares. It helps to plan which areas you want to see beforehand since the grounds are large and divided into different zones.
What stands out is that daily farming challenges are met with scientific solutions in real time, not in isolated experiments. Visitors encounter genuine agricultural work happening alongside research rather than theory separated from practice.
