How can technology help our farmers? This resource for years 9-10 will introduce students to the history of agriculture, current Australian farming practices and the role that technology plays within the food and fibre sector.
This resource consists of 3 activities (and an optional extension activity), worksheets and answer guide. These activities will expose students to past farming practices, how new technology can resolve issues and challenges faced by producers, build their vocabulary and share existing knowledge and ideas about agriculture and the future of farming in the digital age. Career opportunities will also be explored.
