THE INCREDIBLE BLUEPRINT
​OF THE ANCIENT AUSTRALIAN LANDSCAPE

Can you imagine… going directly from drought to productivity?
​Australia is experiencing the worst drought for more than 100 years.
But despite this, there is still hope and a great opportunity...
The UN is preparing to declare 2021-2030 The Decade of Ecosystem Restoration.
And Australia can take a leading role.

THE AUSTRALIAN LANDSCAPE SCIENCE
​
RESTORATION & MANAGEMENT APPROACH

SUPPORTED BY SCIENCE

This is a short (5 min) extract of the popular ABC Australian Story episode "Of Droughts and Flooding Rains" - the story of Peter Andrews OAM and the rediscovery of The Australian Landscape Science (TALS) and its implementation as Natural Sequence Farming (NSF). Watch the full episode here.

WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT?

Peter Andrews OAM explains The Australian Landscape Science Restoration and Management Approach (TALS Approach) at 'Peter's Pond', Mulloon Creek, 17 Jan 2011. Peter first developed Natural Sequence Farming, a TALS Approach, at Tarwyn Park in Bylong Valley near Mudgee. Peter's methods have been described by the UN as 1 of only 5 methods of sustainable agriculture in the world. (Filming by Paul Cockram, Artplan Videographics)

​AUSTRALIA’S LANDSCAPE MANAGERS CAN LEAD THE WORLD IN CLIMATE RECOVERY


“Australia has the incredible blueprint to lead the world in climate change recovery.

All the information we need is here, from the tropics to temperate zones.

The basic patterns and principles of productivity are embedded in the ancient Australian landscape.

We can use these elementary designs to rebuild healthy landscapes and turn cities into rainforests.

Examples exist right across the country, using sunlight, gravity and water to achieve sustainable growth
- by capturing, filtering and recycling nutrients.

The problems are complex, but the solutions are simple, and it all starts by growing a plant.

We must now recognise the greatest opportunity
​that will benefit ourselves and the world.”

Most people see weeds as a problem. But one farmer has found they can help make dry, damaged land lush again – not to mention absorb carbon from the atmosphere. https://t.co/lAt6OUknz5

Yes, we can make it rain. It rains where it is cool. Plants cool the landscape and can bring back the rain. Without the cooling effect of plants, it more often rains out over the ocean. If we observe and do this simply and effectively, we can rehabilitate deserts #climaterecovery pic.twitter.com/jEUY5qDggU

For millions of years, Earth was an inhospitable planet that no human could have survived on. The advent of plants made human life possible. #plants #water #auspol pic.twitter.com/fggAMXkOVo
