- describe the location and contributing factors that influence where beef farming is taking place
- explain how these contributing factors influence the purpose for farming beef, and the location of the beef farm
- summarise all the factors you have mentioned that a farmer considers in terms of the purpose and location of beef farming in this area and evaluate the relative importance of each of the contributing factors.

Getting started
Beef production plays a significant role in the Aotearoa New Zealand economic and social rural landscape. Beef farming has specific land needs, but despite this, farmers engage in beef production throughout Aotearoa New Zealand.
Before you begin your presentation, gather information on the following points:
- The growing environment in which beef is produced.
- The conditions, pastures, or crops needed for effective beef grazing.
- Where beef is grown in Aotearoa New Zealand and what these places may have in common such as:
- the physical and climatic conditions
- proximity to transport or markets, or what the end point of the beef production will be
- family or community connections that depend on raising cows for beef production
- cultural or historical reasons for beef production.
- The link between the land, its people, and the production of beef.
