Sustainable Practices in Agriculture

The video tutorial at Oakes Staff Primary School focuses on sustainability and dairy education. Students participate in Dairy Australia's Picasso Cows program, naming a cow and setting up classroom farms. They learn about dairy facts, raise a calf, and understand the cow's role on the farm. Students track their dairy intake, create graphs, and explore international perspectives on cows. The program includes an art project and a farm excursion, enhancing their understanding of dairy from farm to plate.
