[edit] NPOV

I placed an {{NPOV}} tag on this page. The sources given are all very sympathetic, and the reasons for criticism and rejection of his ideas are not given. Also, re this claim:

"Amongst his many converts are retailer Gerry Harvey and Australian Deputy Prime Minister John Anderson."

Harvey is certainly a supporter. However, based on this recent Australian current affairs program (in-browser video, November 11, 2007), John Anderson only visited once and has not shown support for Peter Andrews' work. Of course, I don't trust the current affairs program when it didn't show any substantial footage of Anderson talking about Andrews and his work, but a clear citation for this claim is needed.

Btw, I also created a page on Appropedia (the sustainability wiki), Appropedia:Natural Sequence Farming. Appropedia is not an encyclopedia page, and does allow for discussion, comparison, questions, analysis of ideas and detailed project writeups. --Chriswaterguy talk 06:19, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
