Continuing our series today from <a href='https://groundedaustralia.com.au/'>Grounded Festival</a> here in Australia, a conversation with West Australians of the Year, pioneers of <a href='https://naturalintelligencefarming.com/'>Natural Intelligence Farming</a>, and so much more beyond the farm, <a href='https://www.regennarration.com/episodes/234-di-and-ian-haggerty'>Dianne and Ian Haggerty</a>. We talk about what it’s been like being West Aussies of the Year, and farmers. And go from there, once again, into some emotional and hilarious exchanges, on what’s emerging from the year, how different things feel now, and the call to all parties to rally now towards some bigger visions. Weaved into all that, we also further explore the incredible week that was here in WA, including their three big events: from the launch of a new Alliance at Government House, to a tour on-farm ahead of the Regenerating Food Systems conference (featured on the <a href='https://www.regennarration.com/episodes/279-soil-to-soul'>podcast</a> in recent weeks), through to their first enormous <a href='https://events.humanitix.com/nourish-perth-the-flavour-of-nature'>community showcase</a> event. As it happens, the new Alliance you’ll hear about has its first development workshop today – so more on that soon. There was so much to talk about. Let’s head back to the sun-drenched green of Galloway Springs farm.<a href='https://regennarration.buzzsprout.com/'>Chapter markers & transcript</a>.Recorded 20 September 2025.Title image: AJ, Di and Ian on stage (pic: Alan Benson).See more photos on the episode web page, and for more behind the scenes, become a supporting listener below.Music:<a href='https://artlist.io/royalty-free-music/song/rowdy-instrumental-version/136103'>Rowdy</a>, by The Lonely Ramblers (sourced from Artlist).Regeneration, by <a href='http://www.ameliabarden.com/'>Amelia Barden</a>.<a href='https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6ewYjiljhUCURUzhfZCqMf?si=6c16a527c1e64c0f'>The RegenNarration playlist</a>, music chosen by guests. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2091922/open_sms">Send us a text</a>Join us for a journey on the Murray River, Australia, for the first <a href="https://www.regennarration.com/course/confluence-murray-river-2026">Confluence 2026</a>.Pre-roll music: <a href="https://artlist.io/royalty-free-music/song/river/73982">River</a>, by Onyx Music (sourced from Artlist).&nbsp;<a rel="payment" href="https://www.regennarration.com/support">Support the show</a>The RegenNarration podcast is independent, ad-free and freely available, thanks to the generous support of listeners like you.
