4 DAY WORKSHOPS FOR NSF
at 'Malloon Creek' Bungendore NSW
On Jan 26th 2011 Peter
Andrews was awarded Australia's highest public award. The Order of
Australia Medal. We all congratulate him for
finally being recognised by his country and hope that this will be
the turning point to see his theory of Natural Sequence Farming be
implemented more freely among Government and Council departments.
Peter was elected to the Carbon Farmers Hall of Fame in a presentation at the Carbon Coalition Conference in Orange. The former GG MJ presented Peter with the award. See photos here - 1 - 2

PUBLIC SYMPOSIUM at the UNIVERSITY OF
SYDNEY
At 9 to 5 Friday on 6 May 2011 University of
Sydney
International House, City Rd near Cleveland St
The Subject was: Towards an Ecologically Integrative Climate
Paradigm
Re-Coupling Carbon and Water Cycles
If international climate negotiations are locked in a serious conflict
between the affluent global North versus 'developing' South,
Australian
climate policy is deadlocked by a superficial political contest
between
political Right and Left. Moreover, in Australia 'economic solutions'
like
taxes or trading are being proffered for 'ecological problems'! This
can
achieve little on the ground - since economics and ecology deal with
two
different orders of reality. A higher level of public eco-literacy
will be
critical for sound climate policy. Download

Natural Sequence Farming (NSF) is a rural landscape management technique aimed at restoring natural water cycles that allow the land to flourish despite drought conditions. NSF offers a low-cost, widely applicable method of reducing drought severity and boosting productivity on Australia’s farms and landscapes. The technique is based on ecological principles, low input requirements and natural cycling of water and nutrients to make the land more resilient.
Significant areas of Australian land and water bodies have been seriously degraded, largely through the removal of natural means of conserving water. The challenge to provide Australia’s ongoing water requirements without undermining the ecological resilience of the land demands urgent and informed action.
Founder, Peter Andrews has devoted his life to the development of Natural Sequence Farming (NSF) techniques to restore the natural balance of water cycles prevalent before they were disturbed.
Please access the links in the Site Map to find out more about Peter Andrews, Natural Sequence Farming principles and the efforts to bring Peter's techniques into mainstream use in Australia. You can also register to receive updates and be part of the efforts to achieve Peter's vision.
The Calendar and Field Days links in the menu keeps you up to date with Peter's appearances. See results of recent field day with pictures here

Dec 17th 2008
Here are some pertinant points which should be taken into
account at this time in the Carbon Trading debate.
Scientific Facts reveal Australia could lead the world in climate
change management.
The following points confirm the facts.
1. Australia could be carbon negative in a year!
2. Plants and water tables are 10 to 100 fold more productive than
artificial irrigation.
3. Water quality, soil fertility, environmental balances, water
availability; of the greatest efficiency, were once features of the
Australian landscape.
4. Plants and water tables have more than 80% influence on climate
than any other environmental component.
The above information has been checked by many leading scientists
and thousands of people who have inspected demonstration sites in
the Australian landscape.
