Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

The main goal for the project is to compare the viability, productivity, and eco-friendliness of raising different types of livestock for meat production on a 100-acre fenced-in land, with potential access to an additional 160 acres of pasture in the future. The project will specifically focus on comparing cattle, yaks, sheep, and goats in terms of land space utilization, productivity, and eco-friendliness.


What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?


- Analyzing the land space requirements for each type of livestock and their respective productivity in terms of meat production.


- Assessing the eco-friendliness of each type of livestock in terms of their impact on the environment, including factors such as methane emissions and land degradation.


- Developing a comprehensive viability assessment for each type of livestock, considering factors such as feed requirements, healthcare, and market demand.


- Creating a comparison report that outlines the findings and recommendations for the most viable livestock option based on the analysis.
