Italian term

economie

Italian to English Bus/Financial Economics
A conclusione delle attività il progetto avrà in sé gli elementi sufficienti della sostenibilità, grazie alle piccole economie rappresentate dai ticket per l’uso dei servizi e la fornitura dell’acqua, così come dalla vendita delle piante prodotte dalla pepiniere e dei volatili prodotti dalla incubazione artificiale delle uova e la fornitura dei prodotti sanitari necessari nella filiera dell’allevamento.

I cannot understand the sense of "economie" in this context: Saving money? Flow of money?
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Tom in London

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

diversifying income streams?
JudyC Oct 12, 2022:
Claudia,
You're right but I cannot think of a concise way of putting it !
Claudia Sorcini Oct 12, 2022:
@Judy, I agree with revenues but why cost-reducing? I would say that it's more to amortise the costs or to pay for the maintenance
JudyC Oct 12, 2022:
I'd more explicit and say something along the lines of "cost-reducing revenues"
Claudia Sorcini Oct 12, 2022:
(small) incomes ?
Bordoni (asker) Oct 12, 2022:
@Phil, ticket è menzionato solo qui nel documento, ma rileggendo credo che si riferisca a questi pagamenti. Quindi opterei più per guadagni che per risparmi...

· L’erogazione dell’acqua attraverso Nr. 26 punti di distribuzione acqua potabile (totale 115 rubinetti) sarà regolata da un regolamento su tempi e modalità di approvvigionamento, legato quest’ultimo al pagamento di una piccola somma di denaro per quantità definita, ricavo finalizzato alla manutenzione dell’impianto e alla sostenibilità del progetto ex post la sua conclusione;

Gli elementi sufficienti , grazie a...cosi come = all the items in the list.
philgoddard Oct 12, 2022:
It's not clear whether "economie" relates to all the items in the list, or just the first. And what are the "tickets" - something they sell? If so, "economie" means "sources of income" and I don't know why they've used this word.

economizing / money saving strategies

Yes, I think it means ways to save money.
Thrift, economies,

Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : But they appear to be about making money, not saving it.

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

Italian term (edited): piccole economie

small businesses

piccole economie = small business(es), small business activities and/or organizations and/or structures

Asker's Context
A conclusione delle attività il progetto avrà in sé gli elementi sufficienti della sostenibilità, grazie alle piccole economie rappresentate
- dai ticket per l’uso dei servizi e la fornitura dell’acqua,
- così come dalla vendita delle piante prodotte dalla pepiniere e dei volatili prodotti dalla incubazione artificiale delle uova
- e la fornitura dei prodotti sanitari necessari nella filiera dell’allevamento.


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.

small savings

none needed
Peer comment(s):

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

economic benefits / financial benefits / economics / economies of scale

... thanks to the economies of scale associated with the fees for the use of services and water supply...
Agree with Phil given context I'm leaning towards economies of scale.
