以色列农业研究中心（ARO）诞生于1921年的Beit Shemen镇，自成立95年以来，该机构已成为以色列的农业科技和创新的中心。它是以色列农业部的正式研究机构，以及希伯来大学、特拉维夫大学、巴伊兰大学、海法大学的农业研究中心。该机构已成为让以色列成为农业创新方面全球领导者的育种项目的代名词。它拥有200名科学家，占该国农业研究和创新的75%以上，是以色列著名的农业专业知识背后的推动力，正式隶属于以色列农业部。

ARO的研究集中在5个领域，目标在于改进生态和农业观念。以色列科学家培育可以投向市场的产品，帮助减轻全球饥荒、旱灾和植物病虫害。通过该中心的Beit Dagan主校区以及两个位于北部Ne’veYaár和南部Gilat的二级研究中心，以色列农业研究中心研究植物保护和科学、动物科学、收割期后及食品科学，以及农业工程。

科学家与以色列的农民，推广人员和区域研发中心密切合作、开发、试点和推出创新，专注于应用研究解决农民面临的具体挑战，并为他们提供解决方案，使他们能够进入新市场。

The Israel Center for Agricultural Research (ARO) was born in the town of Beit Shemen in 1921 and since its establishment 95 years ago, the institution has become Israel's center of agricultural science and innovation. It is an official research institute of the Israeli Ministry of Agriculture and an agricultural research center of Hebrew University, Tel Aviv University, Baran University, and Haifa University. The institution has become synonymous with the breeding program that has made Israel a global leader in agricultural innovation.

Home to 200 scientists, accounting for more than 75% of the country's agricultural research and innovation, it is the driving force behind Israel's renowned agricultural expertise, officially under the Israeli Ministry of Agriculture.

ARO's research focuses on 5 areas with the goal of improving ecological and agricultural concepts. Israeli scientists cultivate marketable products that help mitigate global famine, drought and plant pests and diseases. Through the center's main Beit Bagan campus and two secondary research centers in Ne've Yaár in the north and Gilat in the south, the Israel Agricultural Research Center studies plant conservation and science, animal science, post-harvest and food science, and agricultural engineering.

Working closely with farmers, extension workers and regional R&D centers in Israel, scientists develop, pilot and launch innovations, focusing on applied research to solve the specific challenges farmers face and providing them with solutions that enable them to enter new markets.
