Snails

Snail farming is an urban enterprise worth investigating. You could start farming in a very small space such as a glasshouse. Snails need fresh green plants to eat. You can eat the common garden variety. Get the kids to catch some next time it is raining. Prior to eating they need to be purged by feeding them rolled oats for three days.

A company in Hawkes Bay, New Zealand produces snails for the gourmet restaurant market. Like any new enterprise, further research would be required to see if this could be a viable urban enterprise. Try www.snailfarming.net for further information.
