Chris Eggert

Chris is a fourth-generation dairy farmer based in Wauchope on the NSW mid-north coast. Since transitioning the family farm to organic production in 2000, Chris and his family have focused on building a regenerative farming system centred around soil health, animal welfare and long-term productivity. Their farming approach includes composting on-farm mulch and manure, once-a-day milking powered by solar energy, and the use of multispecies cropping systems.
Alongside dairy production, the farm also produces organic eggs, with beef, chicken and pork sold through their on-farm shop. Chris is passionate about the role family farms can play in supporting healthy communities, meaningful work and resilient farming systems.

John Moor

John owns a large scale biologically focussed, pasture-based dairy business in South Africa milking 900 cows and producing five and a half million litres of milk annually. This operation is now largely free of synthetic and chemical inputs. Over a period of 15 years, John transformed his methods and mindset from conventional farming paradigms to that of a biologically based system. The results have been staggering from both ecological and financial perspectives.

John now lives permanently in Australia where he uses this experience and knowledge gained over the past 20 years to mentor and coach farmers around the world who are seeking to overcome the fear of change and implement better ‘Climate Conscious’ methods of production.

John’s company, GrowMoor Biological, is the platform for this work.

Emily House

Emily is an agroecologist specialising in animal health and performance. She is passionate about translating agroecology and animal nutrition into practical knowledge that farmers can confidently apply on farm. With a Bachelor of Earth Science (Hons.), she spent eight years working as a geologist in Australia before moving to New Zealand and transitioning into the agricultural sector.

For the past 15 years, Emily has worked alongside sheep, beef and dairy farmers across New Zealand, supporting them to improve animal health and performance through a deeper understanding of the relationship between soil health, pasture health, and livestock nutrition. She believes that helping farmers connect the dots between healthy soils, healthy animals, and productive farming systems is key to building more resilient farms and rural communities.

Emily delivers the Animal Health and Performance component of the Integrity Soils CREATE Agroecology course and has worked with farmer groups and researchers on regenerative farming projects and trials. She also has experience in Ecological Outcome Verification (EOV) monitoring, supporting farmers on their journey toward healthier, more resilient farming systems.
