Entry Requirements: At least 8 credits in Agricultural and Horticultural Science
Course Outline:
Agriculture and horticulture are two main parts of New Zealand’s primary industry sector. Primary industries form the backbone for many New Zealand communities and are the country’s biggest export earner. Primary Production is about producing living things from the land and water.
This combined agriculture and horticulture course will appeal to students with an interest in commercial production of primary products and their marketing to maximise profits. Based on the production process, students are given an insight into New Zealand’s agricultural and horticultural exports, with a particular focus on lamb meat and apple crop production.
Other standards provide students with the option of investigating other primary products of their choice and the environmental factors associated. The course links well with subjects such as science, biology, geography and economics.
