Peter Andrews OAM explains the Restorative Agriculture at "Peter's Pond", Mulloon Creek, 17 Jan 2011. Peter first developed Natural Sequence Farming 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. Find out more about Peter's vision to restore Australia's landscape by 2030 at www.tals.org.au

Yes agree, it's about farming according to that particular country. Peter got much of his knowledge from growing up with aboriginal people in Australia who lived with the land. Using techniques that come from Europe just aren't appropriate to Australia's environment.

In slowing down the flow of water he has created a carbon sink, sequestering tonnes of carbon into the ground and drought proofed the property. This property is now a natural fire break and infinitely more fertile and profitable.

Brilliant work Peter Andrews. Keep on going. Ultimately, it will be the tide of public opinion that perpetuates real change at government level. As long as people like Peter, and the many others around Australia and the world, keep pushing and demonstrating these environmental recovery type projects, more people will get on board and greater general public awareness will result.

He's right about the cattle dunging and trampling more than half of the plants but if they are moved onto mature plants that he's describing for short periods that dunging and trampling is what preserves the water retaining function while introducing fertility that plants alone can't provide.

“ 40-50% of water that hits the ground during hot weather is lost through evaporation” - driving through Candelo and surrounds - observing farms sited along local rivers with super green lush fields - and in the middle of a hot 30* day - have their sprinklers on auto - how wasteful - how arrogant of we humans not to give this some thought. Seriously does everything need to be legislated / regulated and policed! Come on people - the time has come. OBSERVE - THINK - ACT

Peter explains the ecology in round about ways. He would benefit by reducing the message to a couple paragraphs such as : slow the water in the channels, then plants will grow and add tilth / top soil that acts like a sponge much better than the eroded subsoil. Spread that soil higher in the watershed so it will act as a larger sponge and slowly release much more water into a positive feed back loop that will bring the land to health via the enhanced soil storing much more water than the current scenarios of depleted soil. I do think he would give grazers/ cattle more credit if their grazing was managed in rotation such as Allan Savory encourages. That gets the cattle themselves to passively move soil uphill.

The north eastern states can't hog all the water from the south eastern states, but, slowing water travel down is different to dam building. Dams do not reduce evaporation the same way. Laws are usually about the dam building for water intensive agriculture. That's a perspective to come from if changing legislation. Otherwise Queensland can grow cotton and Victoria can't grow fruit.

It's quite simple actually. Let me try. More vegetation and water retention in the landscape means more green, which also means a cooler landscape, like when the temperature drops if you enter a forrest. Also, wet and well hydrated trees and grass burn very slowly therefore making it difficult for fire to spread.

Wetland systems are the cornerstone of river ecosystem function and health. The Europeans took the beavers out of the system and drained the wetlands for agriculture and peat moss. The flood and drought scenarios still plague Europe. This approach is not unique to Australia, it's pretty universal. Healthy water courses should flood as many times as possible from the top of the watershed to release energy and deposit sediments in the floodplain.

it wouldn;t wash into the sea if you didn't have soil erosion. If you get rid of soil erosion by planting properly, you will have less flowing into the sea. Thats why you see so much planting in the coastal regions.

My understand of the concept is every cycle of water through the tree will create more green matters and better soil health there and surround. The farmer will make money from just long term soil improvement and more water resources (therefore extending production life of the farm) alone. Grazing is likely possible but need manage well and not over do it?

You just don't graze in and around the waterway. The damming rehydrates the aquifer spreads the water through the landscape and makes the surrounding fields more lush.
