You may want to use a colon to separate the main idea and a further explanation/elaboration of the main idea (e.g. ‘CSR: Does it influence consumers in the banking sector?)The Feasibility of Snail Farming in United Kingdom and Effect of the Regulatory of Supply for snailsTerms of ReferenceExplain your reason for selecting this area of study and why it is interesting and relevant.State your research question and associated aim(s) and objectives i.e. what you want to achieve and how.State the scope of your study: what will you include and what will you not include?An element of the decision to research the hypothesis is that the British public has over the pastseveral decades shown itself to be open to none traditional additions to its culinary diet and hasundergone a widening of its cuisine and food products (Staikou, Kesidou and Michaelidis, 2017).This is probably as a result of rising incomes and standard of living, hence increases in “diningout”, the advent of budget airlines promoting many more travel opportunities and immigration,introducing to the UK public different cultures and their alternative cuisines. Mainstream UKnational foodstuff’s retailers, mainly supermarkets, offer a wide range of foodstuffsincorporating previously none indigenous herbs, spices and other ingredients and products, bothof the unprepared and prepared varieties, including continental (French, Italian and other mainEuropean countries), Middle Eastern, the Indian Sub-Continent, Chinese and other far Easterncultures however very few appear to offer the edible European land snail (Escargot) on theirshelves. In accordance with the structure of the research, there are five chapter that are included,these are effective enough to make the research attain their set of goals and objectives in2
appropriate manner. More specifically, in first chapter background information of the research isprovided. This is helpful enough for viewers to make them understand regarding the topic anddetails that will be covered. In second chapter, focus is made on various journals or researchesthat are carry out by other investigators, these are helpful enough to develop in depthunderstanding. There are many researches that are carried out on similar topic and when theseare used, then it enables to cover vast area in current research. Further, in third chapter there aredetails regarding the research methodologies that are will be covered. These are selected in orderto take determine the step by steps strategies that are applied in order to complete the research ineffective manner. Further, in fourth chapter it is the analysis part in which all the findings makeare interpretative and appropriate outcomes are determined. Lastly, conclusion andrecommendations are done so that with the help of effective strategies implementation of snailsin cited country is possible. UK is a market in which majority of customers prefer to try out newproducts.

Farming.Edible Snails. –Lessons from Italy. Begg S.In her publication “Free-range Snail Farming in Australia” Sonya Begg, responsible for successfullydeveloping large scale Heliciculture in Australia, identified many failures of previous small scale snailfarms as being similar to and “due to the same problems that are seen continually in production systemsin Italy. Having spent several years studying Italian snail farms, Sonia Begg explains how shesuccessfully introduced an alternative approach by encouraging existing Australian farmers andhorticulturists to expand their existing range of crops and products by developing edible land snailfarming, using existing and fallow pastures and making full use of existing farm buildings, power andwater supplies, thus reducing start-up costs.3
2)Economic Analysis and Production Techniques of Snail Farms in Southern Greece.Hatziioannou M. et al.In a 2014 study to examine the economic viability and the production techniques of commercialsnail farms (Heliculture) in Greece, the authors collected primary data from a sample of nine snail farmsduring 2009 and 2010, employing indoor intensive farming systems. Snails were bred, raised andreproduced in net covered greenhouses, providing vegetation and artificial foods. To determine theeconomic viability of the nine farms, profits and expenses were evaluated whereby the net cash flowswere estimated for a time period of ten years. In spite of these benefits that the business will get, there aredifferent types of challenges that are also faced. In this context, one of the main problem is related withinformation as for health, snail is healthy but people may not prefer them due to lack of information. There are different type of considerations that are made by individuals before making any type ofpurchase decisions. With this respect, business should focus on delivering the products at low price andwith high quality. This will enable to make sure that the set goals and objectives by the firm will beattained. Apart from this, support of workers is also important so that all the services and products that areto be delivered by the business should be done in appropriate manner. With this respect, it is required tohave proper monitoring of employees so that the areas in which improvement is required to be made areidentified. 3)Snail Farming (Heliciculture) A review by Scotland’s Rural College.A paper published by “Scotland’s Rural College (SRC) as a review of an earlier study, it isidentifies that there is recent increase of interest in farming of edible snails (Heliciculture) in the UK. Inorder to meet an increase in UK demand most snail products are imported. The paper draws attention to ashortfall in production of edible snail products in France and Eastern Europe. French consumers eat anestimated 35,000 tons of snails a year, according to the French snail producers' union. But only around1,500 tons of those are produced in France (Alexandre H. 2011), whereas production across the UK isestimated to have increased from around 30,000 snails per annum in 2000 to more than 750,000 in 2014(Independent 2014). However, there are other opportunities in which people will be able to tastesomething which they have not. This way, it will be preferable for the business to develop strongcustomer base. Taste and preferences of people differs and in such condition research and survey areconsidered to be an important aspect that are needed to be focused on as it help to identify the areas inwhich improvement is to be made. 4)Intensive edible snail Farming using the curtain method.
