Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

AHCORG513 - Manage an agroecology production system

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Identify the farm agroecosystem functions at a systems level

  1. Identify and map energy flows through a farm agroecosystem
  2. Identify and map nutrient cycles through parts of a farm ecosystem
  3. Identify disturbance points in farm ecosystem succession
  4. Identify areas of complexity within farm ecosystem
  5. Identify ecosystem functions with potential to replace external inputs for farm production system
  6. Assess health of existing farm ecosystem
