These events represent a crucial opportunity for those wishing to deepen their knowledge necessary for starting a snail farm following the rigorous Cherasco Method Snail Standards.
During the meeting, participants will have the chance to receive detailed and specific information on how to manage a farm according to these standards. It will also be a valuable opportunity to directly interact with experts in the snail farming industry, exchange experiences, compare different practices and strategies, and build a network of professional contacts.
These days are aimed not only at beginners but also at those already working in the field who seek to refine their skills according to the sustainability and quality criteria of the Standards.
Becoming a snail farmer offers various opportunities and advantages from economic, environmental, and social perspectives. Here are some of the main reasons to consider this activity:
- Environmental Sustainability: snail farming is considered a low-impact environmental activity. It requires less water and space compared to other forms of farming. Moreover, snails can be fed with agricultural by-products and do not require the use of antibiotics or hormones, reducing the impact on local biodiversity.
- Market Potential: the demand for snail-derived products, both as food and for use in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, is growing. Countries like France, Italy, and Spain have a long tradition of snail consumption, but markets such as the United States and Asia are also beginning to discover the potential of these products.
- Profitability: snail farming can be very profitable. Snails are capable of reproducing quickly and have a high survival rate under properly managed conditions. Startup and operational costs are relatively low compared to other agricultural activities, and the return on investment can be significant.
- Versatility: snails can be sold for food consumption, but there are also niche markets, such as cosmetics (thanks to snail mucous, known for its skin-regenerative properties), pharmaceuticals, and gourmet food.
- Community Contribution: starting a snail farming business can also contribute to the well-being of the local community, creating jobs and supporting the local economy. It is also a way to keep agricultural traditions alive and promote sustainable agriculture.
- Ease of Management: snail farming does not require complex equipment or advanced technologies, making it accessible even to entrepreneurs with less experience in agriculture.
