After graduating from agricultural high school, Remy studied Agronomy and Biological Science at a university in the south of France before completing a second degree in Sustainability in Perth. Alongside many successes and failures on his own farm, Remy undertook training with some of the world’s foremost ecosystem restoration and soil health practitioners, including Geoff Lawton, Drs Claude & Lydia Bourguignon, and Dr Eric Petiot.
Throughout his career, he has founded and directed multiple enterprises within the farming and sustainability sectors. This includes setting up and running a seed production company, an intensive polyculture farm, an organic farmers market, an agricultural association focused on sustainable water management, and an ecological design consultancy. Remy was a popular trainer, media commentator and conference speaker overseas before moving back to Perth with his family in 2021.

In 1999, Grahame spent time with Bud Williams on his visit to Australia, which ignited an interest in Low-Stress Stock-Handling (LSS). Over the next couple of years, Grahame and his wife Ros experienced the benefits of handling livestock using Bud’s methods. In 2002, Grahame joined with Jim Lindsay to deliver LSS schools right across Australia, where they have assisted thousands of livestock handlers. After three weeks visiting Bud Williams in Texas, Grahame spent the next 12 months working with his business partners, developing the KLR Marketing school. The initials ‘KLR’ represent the first letters of the names of each of the founders.
Grahame is passionate about sharing both LSS and KLR Marketing with everyone involved in the livestock industries.
