Agribusiness is a multidisciplinary subject, which has strong connections with other learning areas.
Opportunities exist for links to be made between Agribusiness and other learning programmes. Due to the flexibility of the New Zealand Curriculum many learning areas achievement standards have aspects of the Agribusiness learning objectives and indicators. It is therefore possible to not only assess using the Agribusiness Achievement Standards but to also assess using other learning areas with existing achievement standards, much like the Vocational Pathways.
