This unit provides the skills and knowledge required to plan, handle and process products from a permaculture system, including preservation techniques, treatments, storage and product presentation.

The unit applies to individuals who work under broad direction and take responsibility for their own work, including limited responsibility for the work of others. They use discretion and judgement in the selection and use of available resources, and complete routine activities.

Licensing, legislative or certification requirements may apply to this unit where permaculture products used for human consumption are handled, processed and distributed. Users are advised to check with the relevant regulatory authority.
