Demonstrate understanding of how a life process is managed in a primary production system
This standard asks you to pick a life process (like how plants photosynthesize or how animals digest food) that happens in a farming or growing system, and show you understand how farmers or growers manage it to improve production. You'll need to describe the process, explain what management practices affect it, and include a Māori concept that connects to how the system works.
You describe a life process and a management practice that influences it, with some supporting evidence, and touch on a Māori concept.
You explain how the management practice directly influences the life process and its effects on production, with clear supporting evidence and meaningful use of a Māori concept.
You evaluate the management practice's impact on the life process and discuss how adjustments could improve production outcomes, integrating a Māori concept thoughtfully throughout your explanation.
