Alternatively, rather than scaling productivity to local consumption, the modules could be relatively scaled to one another in order to optimize material cycling. Currently they have been scaled based largely on economic productivity and optimal crop interactions. Projected Low Earnings The highest earnings are generated by the hydroponic system, which has the greatest individual yields per m2. The sales from this module can be significantly lowered, however, while still maintaining a high level of earnings. Return on Investment A typical return on investment for a modern Dutch greenhouse is 7 - 10 years, which in most business sectors is considered quite a long period for achieving returns . In the case of the Polydome greenhouse, we were unable to estimate an exact return on investment Polydome: High Performance Polyculture Systems 41 Pagina 40
