Dr Massy gained a Bachelor of Science (Zoology, Human Ecology) at ANU (1976), before going farming for 35 years, developing the prominent Merino sheep stud 'Severn Park'.
Concern at ongoing land degradation and humanity's sustainability challenge led him to return to ANU in 2009 to undertake a PhD in Human Ecology.
He was awarded an Order of Australia Medal for his service as Chair and Director of a number of research organisations and statutory wool boards.
Dr Massy has also served on national and international review panels in sheep and wool research and development and genomics.
He draws on his decades of farming experience and research to propose new ways of farming that don't harm the land and the planet in the way industrial agricultural practices can.
