Instead of sink or swim funding they want every team to succeed. In some ways we are like a small startup company
When benefits and costs accrue at different points in time calculating profit --or indeed comparing them in any way--requires putting benefits and costs on a common time footing.
The most convenient method (of calculating profitability) is converting all revenues and costs to constant periodic payments;
We began by discounting all revenues and costs to convert them to their present values.
We then calculated the present value of profit which we converted to a constant annual payment (or loss).
Finally we calculated profit (or loss) per unit area to permit scaling up or down.
The scientists found that controlling irrigation using data from moisture sensors led to substantial reductions in both production time and crop losses.
Calculations showed that annualized profit under the wireless sensor system was over 1. 5 times more than under the nursery's standard practice
and that most of the increase in profit was attributed to a reduction in production time.
In an economy as heavily dependent on agriculture as Argentina's, boosting production and protecting workers are vitally important.

If we were to develop something great at a very elevated price, they never adopt it
The country's history of economic collapses, high import taxes and import restrictions has forced Argentines to become skillful at low cost design
