About this Unit
In 2012 this unit is replaced by 300804 - Feeding the Planet. This unit overviews farming systems, primary production industries and enterprises. It introduces ethical issues relating to primary production and their associated industries and investigates many principles and techniques of agricultural and horticultural production. A major feature of this unit is the opportunity to develop practical production management skills through the production of selected crops in the field.
