    About this ebook


    Ever controversial, Peter Andrews, described as a prophet in his own land, once again challenges farmers, governments (federal and state), environmentalists and scientists to face the consequences of their actions. Unless attitudes change now, our lands, forests and rivers, flora and fauna, that we have wilfully mistreated for far too many years, will be degraded beyond repair.

      There are some books that everyone should read, this is one of them. Peter Andrews is a national living treasure and should be made a chief advisor to the Department of Agriculture. A text book should be made of Natural Sequence Farming (NSF) to replace the useless European practices that is continually damaging Australia's environment.

      It just works. There won't ever be so called silly 'rigorous scientific studies' done on NSF, there isn't really a need to, it's just a return to the pre-Green 'Revolution' of post-WWII chemical warfare by profiteering German, British and American companies. It's farming suited to Australia.

      It just makes sense. If you want to reverse "global warming" then apply NSF. Just like anything good the big businesses won't like it, in this case the BigAg companies that profit from the stupidity of poisoning our land and waters with patented chemicals. Just such a waste.

      No need for fertilisers and sprays when you understand hydrology, green coverage, mulch farming and allellopathy.

      Peter Andrews in his book "Beyond the Brink", shows how Australia has turned from a fertile, self sustaining continent into a dry sun baked desert as green cover based around trees has been removed over tens of thousands of years. His is saying that fertility can be quickly rebuilt in natural cycles starting with species that arrive on their own and grow well in depleted soil (i.e. weeds). The basic point is that green cover builds fertility, regardless of what kind of plant provides it.
