Course Overview
L2 Agriculture and Horticulture - improving agriculture improves lives.
This course is based around realistic and practical Agricultural &/or Horticultural contexts. Learners learn to explore agricultural and horticultural issues and to communicate their ideas to others In agricultural and horticultural science, learners will find themselves dealing with contexts, issues, and problem solving drawn from a wide agenda that includes, for example: - products (for example, pork, poultry, avocados, honey, timber, milk, wool, apples, grapes) - environments (for example, waterways, erosion, landscape, soil, shelter, glasshouses, effluent, pollution; environmental modification and sustainable management practices) - solutions for particular management issues (for example, irrigation, cropping, harvesting and milking equipment, data, information and communication digital technologies, shelter and shade construction, and cultivation technologies).

I have been teaching Chemistry and junior Science at Waitaki Girls High School for 14 years as well as Ag / Hort and Agribusiness. As these have elements such as healthy food sources, the business of farming, science of genetics and reproduction and environmental concerns included in the criteria they cover many areas that I am passionate about. One of my interests is growing healthier food as we will need to feed more people with less land. Outside of school we have an orchard, mainly heritage variety apples and are involved in sequence dancing (a little different from ballroom).
