General
In the Plant Production Systems General course students learn about and apply operational practices to selected plant enterprises. Students apply natural resources, such as plant varieties, climate, soil and water, to the objective of meeting personal and community needs. They work with food and fibre production systems, applying sustainable farming practices, and using appropriate agricultural technologies. This course provides the opportunity for students to prepare for post-school options of employment and further training.
