Malcom White and his family realised ten years ago that traditional farming methods were leading to worse outcomes every year. Something had to change. Malcom studied and began to adopt Holistic Management based on the work of Alan Savory and the Savory Institute.
The result is one of Aotearoa’s regenerative success stories. Malcom, wife Twix and daughter Nicky have transformed their farming business.
“It’s down to us; that’s empowering; the changes we’ve seen, the increase of insect life and bird life, are just a source of great joy. We go out to move the cows, and we see hundreds of swallows and fantails just flitting around. Everything goes quiet because falcons come flying over, and then everything comes back out again. It’s just beautiful. It’s fun, to be honest and it makes it incredibly interesting. You kind of lose the fear. I’m no longer afraid of grass getting away. I’m no longer afraid of anything really.”
