'WHOLE OF LANDSCAPE' RESTORATION APPROACH
SUPPORTED BY RIGOROUS SCIENCE

You can watch the full episode here.

​Peter Andrews OAM first developed Natural Sequence Farming, a TALS Approach, at Tarwyn Park in Bylong Valley NSW.

Peter's methods have been described by the United Nations as 1 of only 5 methods of sustainable agriculture in the world!

Video: Watch the five minutes extract of of the popular ABC Australian episode 'Of Droughts and Flooding Rains' of June 2005 featuring Peter Andrews OAM, Gerry Harvey and some of the world's top scientists, including Prof David Goldney, Land Ecologist, and Dr John Williams, former Head, CSIRO, Land and Water.

​Prof David Goldney, Landscape Ecologist 

“Here [at Baramul Stud], in 18 months, you are seeing soil made on top of sand by a very simple process, and the organic layer is quite significant - that black layer that starts to form. 

"I think it’s the most significant contribution to landscape restoration that I’ve seen in Australia. ...

“It all comes together in this very simple process that he has invented in a sense what was always there in the Australian landscape.

"I think Peter is a near genius. He’s a simple farmer who’s understood science better than most scientists, if not all scientists, and they come somewhat grudgingly to learn at his feet.”

​Dr John Williams, Former Head, CSIRO, Land & Water​ ​

“Peter can see changes in gradients and actually understand the previous stream structure. He is actually a very very good geomorphologist.”

​Prof Richard Bush, University of Newcastle 

“Peter has some theories that really challenge existing theories on how streams and landscapes function. We’ve spoken to landholders upstream and downstream, and they are seeing results and virtually beating on the door to get involved in some way from the top of the valley right to the bottom of the valley.

"What’s interesting here, he’s trying to raise the groundwater, and elsewhere in Australia, the message is to lower the groundwater, because of salinity, but the results are startling.”
