Featured on Australian Story, Peter Andrews is a racehorse breeder and
farmer credited with remarkable success in converting degraded,
salt-ravaged properties into fertile, drought-resistant pastures. His
methods are so at odds with conventional scientific wisdom that for 30
years he has been dismissed and ridiculed as a madman. He has faced
bankruptcy and family break-up. But now, on the brink of ecological
disaster, leading politicians, international scientists and businessmen
are beating a path to his door as they grapple with how best to
alleviate the affects of drought on the Australian landscape. Described
as a man who reads and understands the Australian landscape better than
most scientists, supporters of Peter Andrews claim he has done what no
scientist ever thought to do - he has restored streams and wetlands to
the way they were before European settlement interfered with them. the
startling results of his natural sequence farming are said to have been
achieved very cheaply, simply and quickly.
