Venue: Bhagya Lakshmi Farm
Program Type: Full-Day Sustainability Field Investigation
Age Group: 13–14 years
Duration: One Full Academic Day
Focus: Interdependence of ecological systems, sustainable agriculture, ethical resource use and environmental responsibility
This full-day field investigation positions Bhagya Lakshmi Farm as a living sustainability laboratory where students critically evaluate how food systems depend on natural resources, technology and ethical decision-making.
Learners examine agricultural inputs and outputs, biodiversity health, animal welfare ethics, waste-to-energy innovation and water stewardship. Students assess trade-offs between productivity and sustainability, analyse system vulnerabilities and construct evidence-based sustainability proposals.
The inquiry progression follows:
Systems Mapping → Resource Analysis → Impact Evaluation → Ethical Assessment → Sustainable Action Design
Students gather primary evidence, evaluate ecological balance, examine ethical implications and propose realistic interventions grounded in sustainability principles.
Cambridge Lower Secondary Science (Stage 8):
• Analyse ecosystems and energy transfer within food systems
• Evaluate human impact on the environment
• Assess sustainability strategies and environmental management
• Interpret quantitative and qualitative evidence
Cambridge Lower Secondary Global Perspectives (Stage 8):
• Evaluate sustainability challenges using multiple perspectives
• Analyse trade-offs in economic and environmental decision-making
• Propose feasible actions supported by evidence
Cambridge Lower Secondary English (Stage 8):
• Construct structured analytical arguments
• Justify conclusions using field-based evidence
Students will:
• Analyse interdependence within agricultural systems
• Evaluate sustainable and unsustainable farming practices
• Assess ethical implications of animal use and environmental exploitation
• Interpret sustainability innovations such as biogas and vertical farming
• Construct evidence-based environmental action proposals
Students will:
• Construct a detailed systems diagram showing inputs, outputs and feedback loops
• Identify at least three sustainability pressures within the farm system
• Evaluate one ethical dilemma in agriculture using evidence
• Analyse the effectiveness of one sustainability innovation
• Propose a justified sustainability improvement strategy
AO1: Research and Enquiry – Gather structured ecological and resource-based evidence
AO2: Analysis – Explain interactions within agricultural systems
