Region: Hawke's Bay

Stuart is a passionate advocate for sustainable agriculture, rooted in his upbringing on a 200ha mixed cropping farm in Hawke’s Bay. 

As a founding member of LandWISE New Zealand and a champion of No Tillage and Strip Tillage, he knows the value of healthy water systems for New Zealand’s economy. After studying at Lincoln and running farming operations, he spent 20 years abroad launching new mobile services before returning to New Zealand to focus on using technology to improve farming. 

Active in local catchment groups, Stuart is excited to blend his farming background with tech and governance expertise to drive positive sustainable change in our catchment communities.
