Snail production is encouraged as a means to wealth creation via the sales of its soft meat and products/by-products, and to promote the general welfare of the populace using the flagged nutrient and medicinal values. Farming is suggested for each household because it requires less space, does not constitute any significant environmental nuisance(noise- and odor-wise), is less laborious, and is not time-consuming. Furthermore, the animal is highly-priced (were eaten) and harmless, unlike other conventional meat animals. Farming is thus recommended for all, even the less privileged.
