Investigate a nutritional issue affecting the well-being of New Zealand society
NZQA suppresses grade rates for low-cohort standards.
You need to investigate a real nutritional problem that affects New Zealand society—like sugar in drinks, food poverty, or lack of cooking skills. You'll explain what the issue is, use data and evidence to show why it's happening and what's changing, and describe how it impacts people's health and wellbeing. The key is finding and understanding the connections between the issue and the wider factors that influence it (like money, culture, education, or the environment).
You explain the nutritional issue clearly, use data to support your explanation of trends and causes, and describe how it affects New Zealand's wellbeing.
You analyse how the issue connects to multiple contributing factors (like determinants of health) and show how different elements interact to create or worsen the problem.
You critically examine the attitudes and values surrounding the issue, and evaluate the broader implications for New Zealand's health equity and wellbeing.
