Aquaculture Center Feasibility Study for Flax Production

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.

The project will provide a strategic foundation for the company's product development and supply chain management.

Rural Resource Potential Analysis

Your Sweet Spot Life is seeking a comprehensive analysis of financially depressed rural communities in Canada that possess specific natural resources. The goal is to identify areas that are within 150–200 kilometers of a major city center and have access to affordable, clean power sources such as hydroelectric, geothermal, or wind energy. Additionally, these communities should be near a water source suitable for damming and have access to a natural, non-commercialized hot spring. The land must include both mineral and surface land rights. This project will allow learners to apply their knowledge of geography, economics, and resource management to identify potential areas for sustainable development and investment.
