necessary resources at your disposal. In other words they should be viewed
Page | 2
as a complementary source of information to ensure effective teaching and
learning in our lessons.

THEME: 1 GENERAL AGRICULTURE
TOPIC 1: THE ROLE OF AGRICULTURE IN NAMIBIA.

Page | 3
1. The definition of Agriculture.
Involves cultivation of land and keeping or raising of animals
2. The role of agriculture in Namibia
 it provides food for people and animals.
 It provides jobs and income
 It Provides raw materials
3. Why agriculture is seen as provider of work opportunities in Namibia.
 The Majority of our people depend on agricultural related activities.
 Large numbers of people earn a living as farm worker.
 Creation of jobs along the processing chain, from the farm to the product.
 Commercial farming occupies about 44% of our land.
4. Examples of jobs in Agriculture

TOPIC 2: CONSERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES

1. Poor or Wrong agricultural practices
 Monoculture
 Over cropping
 Overstocking
 Overgrazing
 Ploughing down the slope or up the slope
 Indiscriminating cutting down trees
2. The danger of wrong agricultural practices on the soil and land.
 Monoculture increases the population of pests on land. And soil
becomes less fertile.
 Soil erosion caused by overstocking.
 Deforestation removes plant cover and the soil is easily eroded.

3. Soil erosion Note: in the syllabus but very important
a. Causes of soil erosion
 Overstocking
 Cutting down trees
Page | 5
 Overgrazing burning of grass
b. Consequences of soil erosion

 Desertification
 Formation of gullies
 High cost of growing crops
4. Suggest ways of preventing wrong farming practices from lowering the

productivity of the soil.
 Early planting
 Crop rotation
 Reforestation
 Terracing
 Use organic matter
 Optimum plant growth
 Strip cropping
 Avoid bush burning
 Avoid overstocking
 Avoid overgrazing
GLOSSARY
1. Conservation: the preservation and protecting of our limited natural
resources.
2. Crop Rotation: the planting different crops on the same land each year.
3. Deforestation: the cutting down of trees faster than they can be replaces or
regrows.
4. Monoculture: The planting of the same crop on the same land repeatedly.

5. Mulching: the covering of the soil with materials such as decaying leaves or
compost to increase soil fertility.
6. Organic fertilisers: refers to compost manure and animal dropping.
7. Overgrazing: allowing livestock to feed on grassland so heavily that the
Page | 6
vegetation is damaged and the soil becomes exposed to erosion.
8. Soil erosion: the removal of top soil by wind or water.
9. Strip cropping: a method of reducing soil erosion

 Some seeds can be hand-picked from the ground although its not
advisable.
f. Ways of sowing plant seeds and seedling using different mediums such
as seedbeds, trays and boxes.
 Sowing is process of placing seeds in the soil.
o Seedbed; Seeds can be sown directly in the seedbed and then
receives special attention by giving compost, controlling pest, diseases
and watering every day so that strong, healthy seedlings can be grown.

o Seed boxes: can be made of wood or plastic. They must have holes in
the bottom for water to drain out. Put soil and manure in the box and
water. Then sow the seeds followed giving special attention.

6,12 or more compartments. Two seeds can be sown in each
compartment. The seedlings that develop can be thinned out later.

 Dull eyes: The animal’s eyes are not bright and alert.
 Unhealthy looking coat: the animal coat is dull and may have bare patches
 Poor appetite: animal does not want to eat.
3.2.4. HANDLING OF SHEEP/GOATS.

a. Identify the external parts of the animal body.

b. Procedure of handling animals during.
Dosing: is the application of a liquid via the mouth into the digestive system of an
animal: to dose the animal one person must squeeze the standing animal between
his or her legs and use his hands to lift the animal’s head. The second person must
Page | 22
put the nozzle of the dosing gun into the side of the animal’s mouth next to the
throat. Then dosing gun is trigger is pressed to release the required dosage.
Vaccination: is the injection of a vaccine under an animal skin. To vaccinate the

animal, one person must squeeze his or her legs and use his or her hands to hold
the head still. The person with the syringe pulls the loose neck skin away from the
neck and at the same time insert the needle at 45◦.
Marking: involves applying the farmer’s unique identification mark to an animal. The
animal is held in the same way as described under dosing and vaccination.
Castration: is removing the testes or cutting the vas deferens to prevent undesirable
mating. Place it on a table in a sitting position with its back pushed against his or her
stomach. Hold the front legs with one hand and the hind legs with the other hand.
Shearing: is the removal of wool by using sheep shears or electric clippers. The
animal is held in a sitting position between the two legs to shear the belly. It is then
laid on its sides to shear the flanks.
3.2.5. Marketing of sheep/goats.
a. Ways of marketing sheep/goats in their regions in the form of meat or live

animals.
 Selling directly to interested buyers.
 Taking the animals to the nearest auction on auction day.
 Selling animals directly to an abattoir or a butcher.

b. How quality of animal products influences the sales price and profit of
products.
The age of the animal customers will be willing to pay higher prices for meat from
animals with young age than with old age because meat is tenderer and less fatty.
Page | 23
The size of the animal: determine the total price. The bigger the animal, the higher
the price it will fetch.
The condition of the animal (fat or over fattened/ lean) Most consumers prefer
meat with less fat and more meat.
Healthy of the animal: disease animals receive higher prices than animals infected
with micro-organisms or parasites.
3.3 FISH FARMING IN NAMIBIA

and fish will eat them from surface.
Wet feeding: The pellets can also be soaked in water before feeding
and when they are scattered onto the water they will sink because they
are heavy.

year.

3.3.5 HANDLING OF FISH.
a. Ways of catching fish with a small net and put the fish being
caught in a separate bowl of water.
 Put the net into the water and approach the fish slowly.
Page | 29
 When the fish is half way in the net scoop the fish into the net
with a quick upwards movement
 Fish can also be caught by pressing the net against the side of
the container, trapping the fish.
 Pull the net slowly upwards out of the water.
 Put the container slowly and gently in the other pond and allow
the fish to swim out by themselves.
b. Methods to be followed in cleaning the aquarium.

 Remove the fish, handling them correctly and put them
temporally in a bucket filled with clean water.
 Hold the fish properly.
 Empty the aquarium, removing stones and shells and any other
decorations.
 Scrub the sides9 walls) and the bottom of the aquarium with a
brush to remove all the green algae.
 After cleaning, refill the aquarium with fresh, clean water. Or add
lime to neutralize water.
 Finally, replace the making sure the temperature of the
aquarium water is the same as the water in the bucket.

 Creating a direct marketing campaign by target your local community by using
also your friends and family become effective marketing tools for your fish.
 Make sure that your fish is fresh.

 Make sure that your fish is clean.
 Make sure that your fish is affordable to your customers.
 The place where you plan to sell must be clean.
 Selling directly to consumers.
Page | 31
 Selling to open markets.
 Selling to restaurants in your areas.

THEME 4: FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
2.5 PRODUCTION DECISIONS
Page | 32
a. Estimate possible number of customers to purchase specific agricultural
products
As a farmer find out as much as possible about consumers who may buy
your product(s) by asking the following questions.
 What products are your potential consumers buying?
 Where are they buying, and when are these products available?
 Who are the consumers of your produce and where do these
consumers live?
 How many people live within your marketing area?
 What are they currently buying related to what you are producing?
 How much of the product(s) do your potential customers currently
use?
 What prices are consumers paying for high-quality products?
 Are consumers adequately served at present?
b. Deduce how knowing the customers’ needs may influence decisions on

agricultural production.
Understanding your customers will help you to:
 Helps you to decide on the best price to set your products or goods.
 Helps builds relationships with your customers
 Helps increase your sales and profit.
 Helps decrease the costs of attracting new customers.
 Helps you to improve customer service.
 Helps you predict what they will buy, and estimate how much stock you
need.
