Animal production is dependent on plants, which in turn are dependent on the soil and water.
Farmers aim to manage the physical and biological processes in soils, plants and animals to produce agricultural products in a sustainable manner. Learners examine the ways in which farmers manage and manipulate these processes and systems to maximise outputs.
Farms are a part of a broader sector in which products are marketed and processed. Learners examine marketing and processing of a product in terms of its quality and quantity and undertake a specific farm product study.
Learners explore the use of agricultural technologies and their purpose in optimising food and fibre production. Learners design and develop an engineering solution to an agricultural problem or situation.
