Elaboration (2) ACHGK068

evaluating the effects of international demand for food products on biodiversity throughout the world, in the places of their production

Elaboration (3) ACTDEK032

describing physical and chemical characteristics of soil and their effects on plant growth when producing food and fibre products

investigating different animal feeding strategies such as grazing and supplementary feeding, and their effects on product quality, for example meat tenderness, wool fibre diameter (micron), milk fat and protein content when producing food and fibre p …

Elaboration (5) ACTDEK032

recognising the importance of food and fibre production to Australia’s food security and economy including exports and imports to and from Asia when critiquing and exploring food and fibre production

Elaboration (2) ACHASSI128

interpreting graphic representations and making inferences about patterns and/or distributions (for example, proposing the possible impacts of human activity from an analysis of food webs; reflecting on electoral representation after viewing a plan of …

Elaboration ACHGK061

identifying the biomes in Australia and overseas that produce some of the foods and plant material people consume

Elaboration (1) ACTDEK012

identifying the areas in Australia and Asia where major food or fibre plants and animals are grown or bred, for example the wheat and sheep belts, areas where sugar cane or rice are grown, northern Australia’s beef industry, plantation and native forest …

Elaboration (2) ACTDEK032

recognising the need to increase food production using cost efficient, ethical and sustainable production techniques

Elaboration (4) ACTDEK033

explaining how food preparation techniques impact on the sensory properties (flavour, appearance, texture, aroma) of food, for example the browning of cut fruit, the absorption of water when cooking rice

Elaboration ACTDEK045

experimenting with food preservation methods such as freezing and dehydrating to determine changes to food structure and how these impact on designing healthy food solutions, for example dehydrating fruit for the lunch box

Elaboration (1) ACTDEK045

conducting sensory assessment testing of a range of foods to determine how these characteristics might be used to enhance food solutions, for example taste testing a variety of milks, comparing freshly squeezed juice to commercial juices

Elaboration (1) ACPPS006

grouping foods into categories such as food groups and ‘always’ and ‘sometimes’ foods

Elaboration (1) ACHGK061

investigating ways that the production of food and fibre has altered some biomes (for example, through vegetation clearance, introduction of exotic species, drainage, terracing and irrigation)

Elaboration ACHGK063

exploring environmental challenges to food production from land degradation (soil erosion, salinity, desertification), industrial pollution, water scarcity and climate change

Elaboration (1) ACHGK063

identifying the impacts on food production from competing land uses (for example, sacred sites, urban and industrial uses, mining, production of food crops for biofuels, production of food crops for livestock, and recreation (such as golf courses))

Elaboration ACHGK064

examining the effects of anticipated future population growth on global food production and security, and its implications for agriculture and agricultural innovation

Elaboration (4) ACTDEK012

investigating the labels on food products to determine how the information provided contributes to healthy eating, for example ingredients and nutrition panels
