Unit of Competency AHCAGB510 - Implement the introduction of biotechnology into the production system
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency covers the process of evaluating the implications of introducing bio-technology and genetically modified organisms into the current production system. Strategies are developed to implement and monitor the integration of bio-technology products in a sustainable system by preparing strategies for the implementation, monitoring and evaluating the integration bio-technology products into the production plan.This technology will require producers to identify potential risks and benefits, responsibly manage all aspects of risks to the neighbours, local community, and to the environment, relevant to the existing and new production system.All work must be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, work health and safety legislation and codes, and sustainability practices.This unit is applicable to persons who have a role in managing a land based production business. This unit is likely to require consultation with external experts, such as extension officers from State Agricultural Departments, Agri-business representatives, agronomists and regulators including insurance agencies.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.

Assessors must satisfy current standards for RTOs.
