The first Natural Sequence Farming demonstration project (apart from Tarwyn Park) in Australia.
peter a great observationalist, well done to the interviewer too, in terms of asking the questions in an easy to understand manner, as peter probably not the best as explaining things as is often the case with creative minds, or maybe his understanding was just way above of someone still trying to wrap their head around it like myself
I believe that this process is not unique to the Australian landscape.
Be fruitful and multiply
This is a good example of why people need to become a little more "ungovernable". Time and time again, you hear him talk about how the government gets in the way and actually stops any attempts to repair things. Okay, then stop asking for permission. Stop going out to get permits. Don't bring in heavy equipment. Just go out there into the smaller channels and build Beaver Dam Analogs that can hold back a few gallons of water before they overflow. Every river first starts as a tributary, a tiny little trickle. Put a small weir across that trickle, a BDA, and you've helped hold back the rains long enough for nature to do what she does best. You can build a dozen Beaver Dam Analogs along a tiny stream bed just like the beavers do. Beavers only weigh about 100# at most and yet can build dams that hold back tons of water. All you need to do is learn from them and do the same thing on a smaller scale. Working on a big river like in the video might be too much, but that river's fed by tiny little creeks up higher in the hills, away from prying eyes.
So beutiful. Pete and Tony got me into permaculture years ago and I never forget.
Beavers 🦫 did this naturally, so simple.
On PA's current farm he has a weir modeled of the beaver dams.
This would not only benefit farmers but should keep downstream water rights holders and water sellers happy by producing more consistent water flows, why no agriculture minister and/or DELWP minister has suggested this for roll out is beyond me, it's not going to upset the status quo.
I know. He calls it a 'Slow Release System' it's like nature's Super retirement fund.. but without the fees.
Its a shame that there are no Australian Beavers.
There's plenty only problem is there all bald
@@mightyfraserriver977 so they can wash off the mud that much easier ?
Stop desertification and listen to Peter Andrews.
Plants that would be all Plants eat Carbon. The more carbon there is the more they eat the bigger they get. When Carbon was 7K parts per million the earth was a lush place covered with plants and animals. Right now we are at 400ppm we need to be at about 800 ppm. Commercial greenhouses keep their atmosphere at 1200 ppm. Is This sinking in yet> you are being conned. You cans top the pollution which would be a great thing. But cutting carbon is like cutting your own throat.
Mr Andrews is a genius who is too often ignored by the greedy powers in the Coalition who sold our water rights to Canadian Pension Funds.
Wow
It's all this valley & the land now owned by a Korean coalmine company and it was a compulsory forced sale by the government.. Australia run by criminals.
Wrong property, that was Tarwyn Park. Not a great moment for sure. Mulloon is fine, and expanded further to include other properties now if I recall correctly. www.northweststar.com.au/story/4064517/tears-for-tarwyn-park-photos-video/
@@thisearththeonlyheaven Cheers I thought the whole Valley had been purchased. Including both properties. Interesting.
I have learnt soo much from this genius , Biodiverse collapse and its solutions are in this. People dont realise how important this is .
unrecognized scientist
This concept can be used anywhere . . The network of biology always balances . . And water usage is an art . .
THIS is why we NEED individualism. Everyone subscribing to the same policies can all be wrong.
Through settlers Australia has gone from the original floodplain system to a land of horrendous wildfires. My question is how do you intermix livestock and crop production into this system to maintain its vitality?
By this I mean how do you maintain the system's vitality in parallel with livestock and crops?
rotational grazing
Re cropping and livestock. It would be done through the use of contours above the Pastures. The contours are an 'artificial' replication of a healthy chain of ponds, creating positive inground water pressure ect. For cropping, the area in between contours is very intensively grown but is so much more productive. PA writes about it in his book calling it third/third/third system. Top third emulates a rainforest on the ridges. Bringing fertility to the Middle which is for cropping. Lower third is filtration. This can be done fractally all through the system or on scale. Stuart, PA's son, has got a Joel Saltin multi-species rotational model plonked ontop of a NSF mainframe which works well. However, PA often points out that actually cutting feed from the bottom of a very productive system and bringing it to the animals at the top (who's primary role is the grinding of the material). Gravity then takes the fertility from the manure down through the whole system again. He says it is more energy efficient then a cow burning all the energy moving all over the place. Very interesting stuff.
This guy gets the natural world 💙
We, us Australians have no say in our country. It's the New World Order that runs our lives now. Scott Morrison is the worst example of a Prime Minister since Gough Witless, and the Kemlami affair. He tried to sell Australia to the Arabs. Everyone has forgotten those days, more's the pity.
@ Shaun Moller funny huh? 181 likes this includes mine! Land management seems so uninteresting, hard to believe. What animals feed here, including aquatic beasties??
If australia did this everywhere the continent wouldnt be dealing with wild fires right now
Curtis Brennan not quite right. But I get it. Could make more fuel. But they would have water to fight it. Controlled burn offs and access to national parks was cut off. Now they can’t get in to fight fires because the trails are overgrown with trees. 4wds helped the fire trails stay down. No can’t have that you polluters. Well these bushfires created months worth of pollution. Good choice hey ? Bob Carr has a lot to answer for mate.
Curtis Brennan you are correct. Micro climates affect macro climates.
Fuel reduction burns are like paying off one credit card with another one which has higher interest. Yes, the problem is delayed but doesn't deal with the cause. What PA is talking about does.
It also keeps humidity in the immediate atmosphere... fire storms don't work so well in humidity.
You're correct Leonnie, think global but act local. Rehydrating soil at a local level, will create a micro-climate which fire would burn around, not through.
Agaian the little people doing what the government's can't because they don't want to miss out on the hand outs for sitting on their FUCKING ASSES.CUNTS OF PEOPLE.
Good stuff! Slowly but surely...
The agriculture policy in Australia has been broken since they adopted the big American mass yield system. Straighten rivers throw billions of dollars of poison on it, fertilize with petro chemicals and repeat, and wonder why the country is dying and on fire! Peter Andrews should of been gov minister for agriculture 12 years ago which I think he would of turn down but at least could of been an advisor but instead we get spotty just out of college kids running the show. What is going on here?
The political system is designed to filter out people like Peter Andrews, via mental illness, to make way for shortsighted, narcissistic conformists, who tow the line!
Heard about this 10 years ago and still the Australian agriculture minister hasn't rolled this out.. it was to late 10 years ago!!
javebury this guy Peter is a true national treasure
Fucken Scott Morrison was there mate. A bloke who I thought was okay. Nothing. Just like Doctor Holt with cancer. Check that story out. Ten times worse than this. Human lives were at stake. They don’t care.
Thats so messed up
@@kevinknight4782 “I don’t hold a hose, mate” Scomo is a fucking gronk.
If you waiting for a politician to do something about it, you be waiting for a very long time it will never happen
and he lost all of this to a korean coal mining company compulsory purchase criminals running your country
Thank you for educating us.🙂 So much great information for more food growth on our planet for a ever growing population!🤔
Who does Peter Quote @ 6:58 ? Is it Huckeye Tan ?
Yes Peter and Huckeye have worked together for decades
Haikai Tane. PA told me the origin story of how Haikai came to the description of 'A stepped diffusion system of broadacre hydroponics' I can repeat it if you really want.
Natural farming and forestry are the only means to prevent global climate changes.
@Jack Russell what in the stuupid thing is that ?
@Jack Russell guess your causal deal with your kind has made you forget dealing with humans.
@Jack Russell if dogs are not complicated then how come your understanding is. aren't you aware of your own species.
@Jack Russell the only way to combat Rapid desertification and climate change is is creating dense evergreen forests. at least that's what the scientific community has arrived to. it applies to the entire Earth and Australia is not beyond Earth.
@Jack Russell who said eucalyptus is the only tree for a lush forest. Infact its the only tree not required by ecology at all. Further eucalyptus was introduced in australian landscapes around 1200 AD. Forests mean rich diversity of around 180 to 400 plant species.
Peter Andrews is a true prophet.
Monterrey Mexico my home town needs this guy.. wonder if he would suggest to start working on the 32 canions that feed the river that crosses the city... from top to bottom kind of
LA SOBA RANCH ..you are the guy you need...learn and do.....you are the best hope,,,, we are all capable to do what each other's can do....
You don't need that guy. You just watched him explain how he jump starts the natural process.... so do that. One of the simplest and easiest ways to get started is to just travel up into the hills away from everyone, and build what's called a Beaver Dam Analog across a tiny little trickle of water. Build low stone walls across where water will flow when it rains. Anything that slows the water down is a good thing. Build structures that are only one rock high, and build lots of them along the path the creeks flow. If you get the water to stop for just a few minutes before it flows over the little dam you built, that'll give it time to sink into the ground. Then it hits the next dam a few feet downstream and slows down even more. And then the next dam. And then the next. You can work with brush and stone and dirt all found right there where you're building. Every little bit makes a difference.... and then nature will take over.
@18:56 - and sorrel is very good!
Too much money and corruption going on to fix the Murray-Darling. Australians need to demand and revolt if necessary through their votes at the next federal election to DUMP BOTH MAJOR GOVERNMENT PARTIES removing them from the political landscape and instead electing a FULL INDEPENDENT REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT The basis: purely based on the evidence of neglect and outright corruption by private land owners/farmers AND politicians and their agents that has destroyed the Murray Darling - - so all the present government ministers (all of them) irrespective of their portfolios are responsible for the colapse of the MurrayDarling - it is Australia's disgrace! This should end their political careers.
A friend told me the government has allowed rice farming upstream. RICE!
Such a simple idea! Great work. If only the politicians had a BRAIN we could fix the Murray-Darling?

@@Research0digo and cotton.
And now the river is dead. Great work Australian government officials!! 😕
Such amazing beautiful work...allowing nature to do its job.
The next challenge is to use natural methods rather than chemical methods in every kind of farming. For example, instead of constantly spraying or baiting against pests in my garden I simply built garden beds with moats around them. No more earwigs.
