Détails

The project involves conducting a feasibility study to determine the requirements for building or retrofitting an aquaculture center dedicated to flax production. The goal is to assess the infrastructure, building size, and financial investment needed to produce enough flax for paper, linen, and essential oil for cosmetics to serve a population of 70,000 people annually. This project will allow learners to apply their knowledge of sustainable agriculture, economics, and project management. The study will focus on evaluating existing facilities and land that could be used to build new facilities and identifying necessary modifications or new constructions. Key considerations include resource allocation, cost analysis, and sustainability practices. The project is designed for students in agricultural sciences or environmental engineering programs.

Livrables

The deliverables for this project include a comprehensive feasibility report detailing the required building size, infrastructure, and financial estimates. The report should also include a proposed layout of the aquaculture center, a cost-benefit analysis and similar facilities in various locations.
