MARTIN ROYDS
A fifth-generation steward of a 435-hectare property near Braidwood, NSW, Australia. While neighbours struggled through the 2020 drought, Martin's watercourses kept flowing. By rebuilding soil, restoring water cycles, and maintaining 100% ground cover, he turned a degraded farm into a national benchmark — with a 230% profit increase and feed costs at a fraction of the regional average. Jillamatong is living proof that observation and restoring natural ecosystem function, pays dividends.
