About Chris Trump

Chris was raised in both Hawaii and California. His background in construction, farming, and community-building have given him a natural love of systems thinking and engineering while prioritizing relationships, communication, and shared benefits. While living in Hawaii, California, Idaho, and Colorado—Chris has traveled the world while fathering and supporting five bright and kind children. During his Natural Farming study, Chris was struck by and resonated with Master Cho sharing out of a place of deep gratitude—honoring the Painter of Nature.

Chris loves turning a camera on project successes and failures alike—helping farmers and students see the work in action. Thanks to students and Soilsmiths running their own farms and businesses where Natural Farming Solutions are applied—the knowledge Chris shares about working with the land and microbiology are being carried forward and passed down to the next generation.

Whether working with a dairy farm in Ireland, a golf course in Marin County, California, an alfalfa farmer in Iowa, or a garden growing food for the local community—Chris is energized by seeing the world's farms partnering with nature for regenerative and profitable agriculture.

Through his leadership at Biomei, he shows how generosity, shared knowledge, and life-centered practices are creating a worldwide movement of growers who farm with nature rather than against it. His talk is both a technical roadmap and a cultural call to action — an invitation to join a regenerative future rooted in living soil.
