- Martin Royds, Braidwood farmer talks to Peter Andrews at Baramul Horse Stud. Peter's work in the Widden Brook, using Natural Sequence Farming principles has brought great productivity gains. He explains to Martin the sequence of events.
Such a simple idea! Great work. If only the politicians had a BRAIN we could fix the Murray-Darling?
A friend told me the government allowed RICE farming upstream. RICE!
@@Research0digo and cotton.
And now the river is dead. Great work Australian government officials!! 😕
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
Such amazing beautiful work...allowing nature to do its job.
This guy gets the natural world 💙
I have learnt soo much from this genius , Biodiverse collapse and its solutions are in this. People dont realise how important this is .
Thank you for educating us.🙂 So much great information for more food growth on our planet for a ever growing population!🤔
Peter Andrews is a true prophet.
This concept can be used anywhere . .
The network of biology always balances . .
And water usage is an art . .
and he lost all of this to a korean coal mining company compulsory purchase criminals running your country
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.
THIS is why we NEED individualism. Everyone subscribing to the same policies can all be wrong.
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.
Good stuff! Slowly but surely...
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.
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.
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
Stop desertification and listen to Peter Andrews.
@18:56 - and sorrel is very good!
unrecognized scientist
Be fruitful and multiply
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.
@ Shaun Moller funny huh? 181 likes this includes mine! Land management seems so uninteresting, hard to believe. What animals feed here, including aquatic beasties??
I believe that this process is not unique to the Australian landscape.
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.
Beavers 🦫 did this naturally, so simple.
On PA's current farm he has a weir modeled of the beaver dams.
