Subscription fees are differentiated based on the nature of intended use. CLM offers non-commercial users such as NGO's or educational institutions an account at a discount rate. Also individual farmers, although commercial parties, pay a reduced fee because we believe they too should have access to a Environmental Yardstick user account.
