This document discusses land resources in India. It defines land resources as natural resources that can be obtained from land, noting that land is a vital resource. It describes how land resources are important for agriculture, mining, and harboring minerals. Problems with Indian agriculture are discussed, including low productivity, lack of land reforms, and small/fragmented landholdings. The document also covers protection of land resources through conservation biology, habitat conservation, and international charters/agreements seeking to prevent depletion of natural resources and promote sustainability.

2. Land resources Natural Resources that can obtained
from the land is called land resources.
land as vital resource

3. INTRODUCTION
Almost every man-made product is composed of
products of land resources.
A natural resource may exist as a separate entity such
as fresh water, and air, as well as a living organism such
as a fish, or it may exist in an alternate form which
must be processed to obtain the resource such as metal
ores, oil, and most forms of energy .

4. Land is the most important resource existing.
It is the major source of important energy resources like
fossil fuels.
Agriculture is not possible without land resources.
Land also harbors all crucial minerals.

5. Mining
Mining is the extraction of valuable minerals or
other geological materials from the earth.
Materials recovered by mining include base
metals, precious
metals, iron, coal, diamonds, limestone, oil, rock
salt and potash.
Any material that cannot be grown
through agricultural processes, or created artificially in
a laboratory or factory, is usually mined.

6. AGRICULTURE
Agriculture output purely depends on land resource.
Thus, lack of access to land increases incidence of
poverty in rural areas.
 Quality of land has a direct bearing on the
productivity of agriculture, which is not true for other
activities.

7. Problems of Indian Agriculture
Low productivity of crops and labor
Lack of Land Reforms
Small Farm Size and Fragmentation of Landholdings

8. PROTECTION
 In 1982 the UN developed the World Charter for Nature in which it
recognized the need to protect nature from further depletion due to
human activity .
 They state the measures needed to be taken at all societal levels, from
international right down to individual, to protect all resources.
 They outline the need for sustainable use of natural resources and
suggest that the protection of resources should be incorporated into
the law system at state and international level.
 To look at the importance of protecting natural resources further. The
World Ethic of Sustainability, developed by the IUCN, WWF and the
UNEP in 1990 which set out eight values for sustainability, include the
need to protect natural resources from depletion .
 Since these documents, there have been many measures taken to
protect natural resources, some of these ways include Conservation
biology and Habitat Conservation.

9. Conservation biology is the scientific study of the
nature and status of Earth's biodiversity with the aim
of protecting species, their habitats, and ecosystems
from excessive rates of extinction.
The term conservation biology was introduced as the
title of a conference held University of California
Habitat conservation is a land management practice
that seeks to conserve, protect and
restore, habitat areas for wild plants and animals,
especially conservation reliant species, and prevent
their extinction , fragmentation or reduction in range

10. Land Resources In India
Land Resources In India Land Resources in India
enclose approximately 1.3 million sq miles and is a
cape, protruding into the Indian Ocean, in between
the Bay of Bengal on the east and Arabian Sea on the
west. Indian land resources are segmented into varied
relief features, 43% of land area is plain region; Indian
mountain region constitutes 30% of the area, where as
plateaus account for 27 % of the total surface area on
the nation
