Exploring the production and marketing of seafood: producer video

• This is an excellent resource for studies of food production in the context of the secondary Geography, Design and technologies, and Economics and business curriculums. Lance Vader's presentation is especially valuable for the 'Biomes and food security' unit of study in year 9 geography, in particular for the content descriptions that refer to the challenges to food production for Australia and other areas of the world and the capacity of the world's environments to sustainably feed the projected future population to achieve food security for Australia and the world.
• The two interviews and the visuals of seafood production are of considerable relevance to the Knowledge and understanding strand of Design and technologies. The resource provides opportunities for case studies of value for those content descriptions that call for analysis of how food is produced when designing managed environments and how these can become more sustainable in years 7/8 and for investigation and judgement of how food is produced in sustainable managed environments in years 9/10.
• Andrew Laurie's discussion of government regulation of wild lobster trapping and the implications of the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement may also be of some value for the content descriptions in economics and business that refer to how and why businesses seek to create and maintain a competitive advantage in the global market (year 9) and the ways that governments manage the economy to improve economic performance (year 10).
