Description
Calculate diverted=reused+recycled-sharedCount, diversionShare=diverted/generated, and residual=generated-diverted.
A farm or garden budget depends on a common area, quantity, observation period, and system boundary. Recovery, exclusions, overlap, and allocation change how a share is calculated. Supplied accounting or geometry terms remain separate from measured crop performance and verified environmental outcomes.
Calculate diverted=reused+recycled-sharedCount, diversionShare=diverted/generated, and residual=generated-diverted.
When to use this tool
Use Sustainable Farm Waste Diversion Mass Term when you need a clearly bounded area, material, resource, energy, or allocation term for supplied garden or farm records.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter generated, reused, recycled, sharedCount. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read diverted, diversionShare, residual. Use the output convention below.
Calculate diverted=reused+recycled-sharedCount, diversionShare=diverted/generated, and residual=generated-diverted. Require positive generated, nonnegative quantities, feasible overlap, and diversion within generated.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| generated | Generated | Required. Finite number; strictly above 0. |
| reused | Reused | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| recycled | Recycled | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| sharedCount | Overlap quantity in the same mass unit as reused and recycled. | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| diverted | Diverted | Required. Finite number. |
| diversionShare | Diversion Share | Required. Finite number. |
| residual | Signed discrepancy under the formula stated above. | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- SharedCount uses the same mass unit despite its name. Categories and overlap are supplied; the result does not verify waste handling, recycling claims, or environmental benefit.
- The field tables state structural bounds; the mechanics also specify cross-field constraints. Malformed inputs and unsupported domains cause errors. A successful false flag, empty branch value, or zero placeholder has the meaning stated above and is distinct from an input error.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Signed zero is exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Verify the system boundary, units, and source records before combining this term into a resource or environmental report. Physical design and crop-performance questions require appropriate measurements and a broader model.
