Natural Intelligence Farming™️

The enormity of the honour bestowed upon Ian and I as 2025 WA Aus of the year has slowly been sinking in and along with that the awareness of the responsibility in making the most of this rare once in a lifetime experience. We were asked how we felt as a result of receiving this award and it looks a little like this.. We are experiencing great humility following the influx of support from local, national and global community in support of the story created by Natural Intelligence Farming™️ . Sharing story is a critical part of bringing community together, learning, growing and inspiring change or tradition. With gratitude to all involved at Australian of the year awards and the community members who nominate and are nominated for this special award.

What began as a simple quest to develop a farming approach in harmony with our natural systems has blossomed into an incredible 17-year public speaking journey for Ian and Di Haggerty They’ve traveled across Australia and around the world, sharing their knowledge and passion to empower farmers to embrace these practices. From speaking to just 10 people to inspiring audiences of hundreds and thousands, it’s been a magnificent journey—and it’s only the beginning for us at Natural Intelligence Farming™️ Clips from NutriSoil , Smartsoil Pty Ltd - Mind, Body, Soil , Farming Secrets, Soils for Life and Australian Story #naturalintelligencefarming #nurturingmicrobiomeswithheart #sustainability #sustainablefarming #soilhealth #humanhealth #education #educating #educatingfarmers #farmershelpingfarmers #empowering #empoweringwomen #ausoftheyear #naturalintelligencefarmingproduce

Here’s a sneak peek at the interview Ian and Di Haggerty had with Nadia Mitsopoulos on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) Perth morning show after they received the WA Australian of the Year Awards ! In the interview, Di shares how working with Natural Intelligence Farming™️ allows us to step back and let the evolved intelligence of the animals and our landscape address any issues or threats naturally. This approach not only reduces our workload but also fosters healthier and more resilient animals and ecosystems and then a healthy population! 🌎 #naturalintelligencefarming #sustainability #nurturingmicrobiomeswithheart #sustainablefarming #soilhealth #ausoftheyear #naturalintelligencefarmingproduce #naturalintelligencefarmingwool #naturalintelligencefarminglamb

Embracing new beginnings and defying limits is never easy, but it’s always worth it. For Ian and Di Haggerty in the central Wheatbelt, an arid climate, building resilience in their landscape has been an a focus due to fast changing climate conditions. With annual rainfall dropping from over 300mm to just 100mm in 2023, their journey is nothing short of inspiring. Their dedication to nurturing the land, despite such harsh conditions, showcases the true spirit of perseverance. #climate #resilience #naturalintelligencefarming #carbon #challenges #adversity #femalefounder #farming #sustainability #regenerativeagriculture #regenerativefarming

Textile Exchange Conference Recap 🌟 Last week, Matthew Haggerty,Di Haggerty and Bec Hamersley embarked on an exciting journey to Los Angeles for the Textile Exchange Conference. The adventure began on Monday evening, just an hour after our arrival in LA, with a fantastic dinner hosted by The Woolmark Company . It was an incredible opportunity to connect with brands and fellow wool producers, setting the perfect tone for our week ahead! Tuesday morning kicked off with the Producer Breakfast, where we met textile producers from around the globe, all united in the mission to create more sustainable fibers. We then dove into Day 1 of the conference, capping off the evening with a vibrant cocktail event to further expand our network. Wednesday brought Day 2 of the conference, where we immersed ourselves in workshop discussions on regenerative agriculture. We explored its crucial role in crafting a sustainable fashion industry and the transformative power of direct collaboration between brands and producers. Thursday marked Day 3, starting with the Nature and Climate Impact Awards ceremony at breakfast. We were thrilled to receive the Ryan Young Nature and Climate Impact Award for our commitment to producing luxury-grade wool in harmony with nature. Later, Matt and Di, alongside Aditi Mayer , took the stage at the Producer Spotlight to share our journey with #naturalintelligencefarming. We highlighted how it revitalizes our landscapes while delivering premium sustainable fibers for the fashion industry! The conference was an extraordinary opportunity to forge connections within the industry and explore how we can bring Natural Intelligence Farming®️ wool to more wardrobes near you. It was truly inspiring to witness the passionate discussions around the role of regenerative agriculture in fashion and the drive to strengthen partnerships between brands and producers! #naturalintelligencefarmingwool #naturalintelligencefarmingfibres #naturalintelligencefarmingproduce #regenerativeagriculture #regenerativefarming #regenerativefibres #sustainablefashion
