griculture is among
the largest contributors to climate change.
Pie charts illustrating carbon dioxide emissions usually
have a large slice of the piece set aside for agriculture.
Considering the number of people who walk the planet,
agriculture as it has evolved is not a luxury emission, rather essential and so
it is not the process itself that is a concern, rather how we go about feeding
ourselves.
Peter Andrews of Tarwyn Park in the New South Wales Hunter
region, created broad interest in his “Natural Sequence Farming”, a process he
had developed to restore the quality of Australia’s inherently poor soils that
modern production ideas had further degraded.
Sadly, Tarwyn Park has been sold to make way for a
Korean-owned open cut coal mining venture, but there are now hopes that his
dream will live on.
