Farm enterprise development and soil fertility management anchor this 10-page Term 3 schedule for Grade 10 Agriculture. Across 9 weeks and 33 timetabled lessons, practical training links classroom theory directly to field activities such as tuber processing, produce packaging, and compost preparation.
Instruction follows the Agricultural Technologies and Entrepreneurship strand through four distinct technical units:
- Value Addition: sorting fresh fruits and root tubers, exploring heat sources and packaging methods, and analysing profit margins against local market price lists in week 1.
- Enterprise Establishment: evaluating agricultural business opportunities, reviewing sample loan agreements, and drafting enterprise proposals using financial budget templates during weeks 2 and 3.
- Produce Marketing: grading harvested produce, attaching labels, operating weighing scales, and recording handling costs in weeks 4 and 5.
- Composting Techniques: digging compost pits with jembes, layering organic waste, testing innovative container composting, and spreading cured manure in weeks 6 and 8.
