Dianne and Ian Haggerty are passionate about restoring landscape ecology, producing optimum health promoting food, fibre and beverage while supporting planetary health outcomes.
With the foundation of Natural Intelligence Farming (NIF), Dianne and Ian pioneered a modern farming practise focused on supporting diverse microbiomes in soil, plant, and animals – boosting immune system function, nutrient diversity and resilience.
NIF places trust and appreciation in the wisdom of natural systems, enabling them to replace synthetic fertilisers with natural fertility processes, such as plant diversity, compost extract, worm liquids and the microbiome of ruminant livestock.
In very dry and poor soil conditions, they’ve pioneered a farming approach that optimises water use and rebuilds soils, biodiversity and landscape function.
Working with 26,000 hectares, Dianne and Ian have demonstrated viability at scale. Their world leading approach has attracted global recognition, with Dianne invited to present at Australian and international conferences supporting other farmers in their own journey.
