Investigate how and why food and fibre are produced in managed environments
Elaborations
-
investigating and experimenting with different tools, equipment and methods of preparing soil and the effect on soil quality and sustainability, for example when designing a garden for a community group
-
identifying ways of applying, conserving and recycling nutrients in food and fibre production when designing a sustainable school vegetable garden or cropping area, for example composting and other forms of organic fertilisers
-
considering how low-input sustainable agriculture (LISA) is used in a range of environments including Australia and the countries of Asia
-
describing the relationship between plant types and animal breeds and their environmental suitability when selecting suitable plants or animals for an environment
-
sequencing the process of converting ‘on-farm’ food or fibre products into a product suitable for retail sale, that is, the ‘paddock to plate’ supply chain, or when making yarn or fabric from fibre
-
investigating the use of technologies including digital technologies in the production of food and fibre
-
exploring and comparing the efficiency of different irrigation methods in plant production systems including the use of digital technologies to improve the effectiveness, for example when designing a sustainable irrigation system to be used in a garden
