Common startups in urban agriculture.

The current economic situation has forced many city dwellers to move back to their various states/villages where the standard of living is lower. 
 
The majority of people who thronged to the city for greener pastures have suddenly realized that with the hike in prices of food and cost of living generally,the race away from the farms was a wrong move. #urrbanagriculture #snails 

 The basic needs of man highlighted as food,shelter and clothing has proved not to be so basic after all,the current state of recession has pulled the covers off the eyes of many and a journey into urban agriculture has begun in earnest. 

 Recession can be erased easily if more people practice urban agriculture, school children can also benefit from this if the schools engage in this.

 Urban agriculture in school will feed the kids, pay for school supplies and also provide extra income for teachers as well. Urban dwellers that want to launch out into the sea of agriculture have always found farm site an issue to contend with,but with urban agriculture this is no problem.

 Urban agriculture simply refers to agricultural practices that are possible and viable in urban areas without fear of breaking an environmental laws.

 The scale of production will depend on space available and capital. The planting of vegetables is not limited to sacks, bottles,vats or other plastic containers could be utilized and the beauty of these is that you could actually make shelves or stands to create more space for your vegetables.

The scale of the business depends on your point of entry; 1) raise from hatchlings to market.
 2) buy mature snails, rear and sell hatchlings.

 3) buy mature snails rear for a month and a half and sell off. All the entry levels have various advantages,your goal will determine your level of participation.
