The center has a goal of improving yields 300 percent and reducing inputs by 30 percent within 10 years.
Perennial polyculture systems may have a variety of benefits over conventional annual monocultures such as increased biodiversity, reduced soil erosion, and reduced inputs of irrigation, fossil fuels, fertilizers, and pesticides.
It incorporates products and services that improve operational performance, productivity or efficiency while reducing costs, inputs, energy consumption, waste or pollution.
Typically, the emphasis has been upon the problem of monitoring output/standards while reducing financial inputs in real terms.
But if reducing chemical inputs causes a decline in yields, farmers are likely to reduce inputs only if the cost saving offsets the loss of revenue.
It also holds out the possibility of reducing artificial agricultural inputs, notably pesticides and herbicides, whose use can cause collateral environmental damage.
Restraints on imports from noncommunist countries reduced inputs for domestic industries.
Cleantech is any product or services that improves operational performance, productivity, or efficiency while reducing costs, inputs, energy consumption, waste, or environmental pollution.
It's called 'Lean' because its aim is to produce more while reducing inputs in terms of cost, time, space, energy and effort.
The effects of container dimensions thus constrain larval growth, possibly by decreasing exchange of materials or reducing inputs of resources, an area of future investigation.
