Natural Sequence Farming with Stuart Andrews and Morag Gamble

This week I had the great pleasure of talking with highly sought-after farmland restoration and rehydration expert,  Natural Sequence Farmer, Stuart Andrews about what we need to be doing to restore Australian farming landscapes, ecosystems and food systems. We also explore the close connection between Natural Sequence Farming and Permaculture. There are pure gems in this conversation. I thoroughly enjoyed this chance to catch up with Stuart again.

Stuart Andrews is a farmer who has dedicated over 30 years of his life to understanding, practicing and teaching land rehabilitation techniques. He was raised at the 1500 acre “Tarwyn Park” in NSW, the celebrated home of Natural Sequence Farming, pioneered by his father Peter Andrews OAM. Natural Sequence Farming (NSF) is now internationally recognised as a significant innovation in sustainable agriculture and land care, and the story of Tarwyn Park has featured many times on the ABC program Australian Story - and here on another episode about Mulloon Farm .

Stuart has been involved in public education for most of his adult life and is passing this gift to his sons too, who now run tours at Forage Farms near Gympie - further down the Mary River from where I live.

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
