The Future of Farming

Year 6 spent Term 4 learning about managed systems, vertical farming (mealworm and cricket farming – protein for human consumption) and digital technologies.

They designed a managed system, tasted mealworms and crickets, and looked at the merits of water and resource management in integrated farming systems. Their unit finished with them coding soil moisture sensors with Year 9 IST students as an example of monitoring a controlled/managed system.
