This thesis is a preliminary study conducted as part of a project proposal aimed to provide an adequate background and feasibility study for the creation of an Aquaculture enterprise in Zambia.
The methodology used is based on the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK, 2008) and the comparative research method taking in consideration similar study cases, theses, and articles about business creation in Zambia and fish farming.
The thesis analyses in details logistic, environmental, and socio-cultural problematics and furthermore proposes a sustainable type of business model to overcome some of the limits of the fish farming with a low-tech cannery installation.
The study result is an analysis of challenges and risks with an indication of likeability and a hypothetic course of action. The work concludes demonstrating the feasibility and the potential risks and opportunity at the light of the current situation. The finds may help local communities relaunching small scale fish farming with an eye on ethical and neutral footprint practices.
