NPOV
editI 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)
Influences
editThe article is missing biographical information on Andrews' and, in particular, his influences. I would find it hard to believe that he wasn't influenced by the work of Bill Mollison. Can anybody fill in the details? On another note, is there actually any difference between Andrew's techniques and that of Mollison?BhangraGirl (talk) 02:20, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
Agricultural pioneer?
editReally? If there were some information on this article to back that title/statement up, this would be a less contentious point. Maybe agricultural theoretician? Something more neutral perhaps, since at least for me, it is yet to be seen that he is an 'agricultural pioneer'. Apothecia (talk) 20:50, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
