Peter Andrews (agricultural pioneer)
- Peter Andrews (agricultural pioneer)
Peter Andrews is an Australian race horse breeder and grazier from Bylong in the Upper Hunter Valley of New South Wales.
Agricultural pioneer
He is the inventor of the Natural Sequence Farming method. He has successfully converted his degraded, salt-ravaged property at Tarwyn Park into a fertile, drought-resistant estate. His techniques are poles apart from the accepted practice and prevailing thinking. For 30 years he has been rejected and made fun of. [ [http://www.abc.net.au/austory/content/2005/s1388590.htm ABC documentary "Australian Story"] ] Peter Andrews is also the author of a best selling book on his methods, entitled "Back from the Brink - How Australia's landscape can be saved".
Supporters
Vindication finally came as more and more people recognised the transformation brought to their lands using his method. Amongst his many converts are retailer Gerry Harvey and Australian Deputy Prime Minister John Anderson.
