Description
Return unaccounted=harvested-consumed-donated-spoiled-retained and edibleShare=(consumed+donated+retained)/harvested.
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.
Return unaccounted=harvested-consumed-donated-spoiled-retained and edibleShare=(consumed+donated+retained)/harvested.
When to use this tool
Use Urban Crop Consumed Donated Balance 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 harvested, consumed, donated, spoiled, retained. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read unaccounted, edibleShare. Use the output convention below.
Return unaccounted=harvested-consumed-donated-spoiled-retained and edibleShare=(consumed+donated+retained)/harvested. Require positive harvested and nonnegative outcome quantities.1

}Limitations and assumptions
- Outcome totals are not constrained to harvest, so residual can be negative and share above one. Categories need a common unit and nonoverlapping records; food safety is not assessed.
- 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.
