Description
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to evaluate suitability of species as solutions for permaculture applications.It requires knowledge of botany, zoology, ecology and climate science and the ability to research species in detail and make recommendations for a particular scenario. All work is carried out to comply with workplace procedures.This unit applies to individuals who analyse information and exercise judgement to complete a range of advanced skilled activities and demonstrate deep knowledge in a specific technical area. They have accountability for the work of others and analyse, design and communicate solutions to a range of complex problems.No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements are known to apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Research species in detail and assess for usefulness
  • 1.1 Carry out research into species for use in the permaculture project
  • 1.2 Assess the usefulness of species for the roles or functions required in the system
  • 1.3 Document research and include photographs or illustrations for correct identification
2. Assess the needs of the permaculture system
  • 2.1 Undertake a complex needs analysis of the permaculture system
  • 2.2 Confirm that the species selected will provide the solutions needed
  • 2.3 Undertake further research if needed
3. Recommend species as solutions for permaculture applications
  • 3.1 Prepare a report recommending species as solutions to permaculture applications
  • 3.2 Support the recommendations with evidence from the research
  • 3.3 Explain species interactions and inter-relationships
4. Evaluate suitability of species in a permaculture design
  • 4.1 Review the permaculture design once species are in place
  • 4.2 Evaluate suitability of the species in the design
  • 4.3 Re-assess any species that are not performing the function as expected
  • 4.4 Research alternatives or additional species to support the function
