Exploring farms that produce our meat and wool

This unit consists of a pdf resource and two supporting videos. It has five inquiry teaching sequences about where our meat and wool comes from. It includes sections on food we eat and fibre we use and wear; where food and fibres come from; ways of producing food and fibre; farm management practices used; technologies used on the farms for agricultural production; communication; and the management of these places, to ensure the growth and survival of their livestock on farms; and challenges and opportunities faced by food and fibre producers on farms in Australia today.
