  -> I see it as money saving in terms of using less water for instance. But you'e right, it's several things.
agree  FPC: It mentions two aspects: savings and profits from sale of local produce. So this is literally correct for the 1st item

What is a Small Business?
Quality Glossary Definition: Small business
Small business is defined as a privately owned corporation, partnership, or sole proprietorship that has fewer employees and less annual revenue than a corporation or regular-sized business.
The definition of "small"—in terms of being able to apply for government support and qualify for preferential tax policy—varies by country and industry. The U.S. Small Business Administration defines a small business according to a set of standards based on specific industries.

agree  FPC: Literally it's correct, but my impression is the source text misuses the term. They actually mean "revenues".
