Farm as a Business Unit
This topic introduces learners to the essential principles of agricultural economics and farm management. Students will explore the farm as a business, identifying required resources (land, labour, capital, entrepreneurship) and ways to improve production. A key component is farm record-keeping, including financial statements like balance sheets and profit/loss accounts. Learners will also apply the law of diminishing returns. This topic is central to the CBC's aim of fostering entrepreneurship and is critical for ECZ exam questions on farm management, budgeting, and improving agricultural profitability in the Zambian context.

Farm Structures
This topic advances learners' practical skills in agricultural engineering. Students will learn to select suitable sites for farm buildings based on factors like security, drainage, and accessibility. They will prepare basic layout plans and engage in constructing simple farm structures using local materials. The unit also covers the operation and maintenance of animal-drawn and tractor-drawn implements like ploughs, planters, and harrows. This hands-on, competence-based topic is crucial for School-Based Assessment projects and practical ECZ examinations. It builds foundational skills for farm management and mechanisation, important for Zambia's agricultural development.

Field Crop Production
This topic focuses on the practical science of growing major cereal crops in Zambia, such as maize, sorghum, and millet. Learners will develop competencies in selecting suitable sites, designing crop rotation plans, calculating plant populations and input requirements, and managing crops from planting to harvest. The unit includes value addition, storage, marketing, and yield analysis. Aligned with the CBC's emphasis on productivity and entrepreneurship, this topic is core to the Zambian syllabus. Proficiency is essential for ECZ exams, as it forms the basis for numerous scenario-based and long-answer questions on staple food production.
