The document discusses different types of resources. It defines a resource as anything that can satisfy a need. Resources are classified as natural, human-made, and human. Natural resources are further divided based on development, origin, distribution, and whether they are renewable or non-renewable. The document emphasizes the importance of resource conservation and sustainable development. It provides examples and activities to illustrate different types of resources.
Conservation agriculture involves retaining crop residues on the soil surface, minimizing soil disturbance, and using crop rotations. It reduces degradation of soil and water resources over time compared to conventional agriculture. Key characteristics include surface residue retention and minimal soil movement. Additional components like crop rotations and cover crops are needed to overcome problems from retaining residues. Conservation agriculture is a complex system that completely changes agricultural practices. It aims to emphasize soil and water conservation compared to conservation tillage. Tillage can control weeds and pests but also harms soils and the environment. Conservation agriculture provides benefits to both small and large farmers like reduced costs, increased yields, and less erosion.
Plants reproduce through various methods like seeds, spores, leaves, stem cuttings, underground stems, and suckers to ensure their survival. Examples of plant reproduction through seeds include papaya and durian. Mushrooms and ferns reproduce through tiny spores that are easily spread by wind. Begonias and bryophyllum reproduce through leaves, while hibiscus, roses, and tapioca reproduce via stem cuttings. Sweet potatoes reproduce underground through stems. Bananas and pineapples reproduce using suckers. If plants did not reproduce, they would become extinct.
Impact of nutrient management practices on feasibility of organic farmingAshish Patel
This document discusses organic farming in India. It notes that while conventional farming led to increased crop production in the late 20th century through chemicals and technology, this has negatively impacted soil, water and human health. Organic farming is presented as a more sustainable alternative. The document outlines some of the key principles of organic farming such as nutrient management using crop rotation, residues and organic manures. It also discusses the use of biofertilizers and indigenous preparations to enrich soils. Overall trends in organic cultivation in India are presented, showing it is a growing sector but still makes up a small percentage of total agricultural land.
This document discusses water resources in India. It covers various topics like sources of water, water flow and distribution influenced by factors like rainfall and river catchment areas. Groundwater resources are discussed along with utilization levels. Issues around water scarcity and disputes are highlighted. Techniques to recharge groundwater like rainwater harvesting are explained. The importance of irrigation in India and various methods are also summarized.
Role of Pulses in Conservation AgricultureSuman Dey
1) Pulses play an important role in conservation agriculture by diversifying crop rotations and intercropping systems. They improve soil quality, fix nitrogen, and reduce weed and pest pressures when integrated into cereal-based systems.
2) Studies have shown the highest yields in systems that include pulses like maize-wheat-mungbean compared to continuous maize-wheat. Pulses also perform well in intercropping, as cover crops, and can be grown on residual soil moisture after rice harvest.
3) The inclusion of pulses improves soil organic carbon, nitrogen content, and physical properties. They also reduce the need for nitrogen fertilizer in subsequent crops through biological nitrogen fixation and nutrient recycling.
Soil management strategies to enhance carbon sequestration potential of degra...koushalya T.N
Reclamation of degraded lands has huge potential for carbon (C) sequestration to counteract the climate change. It was estimated that about 1,964 Mha of land is degraded worldwide and in India 146.8 Mha of land is degraded ( Bai et al., 2008). The major land-degradation processes in the World and in Asia are water erosion, wind erosion, salinity, alkalinity, nutrient depletion and metal pollution. Enrichment of soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks through sequestration of atmospheric CO2 in agricultural soils and degraded lands is important because of its impacts on improving soil quality and agronomic production, and also for adaptation to mitigation of climate change. Various management strategies like conservation agriculture, integrated nutrient management, afforestation, alternate land use, plantations and amendments and use of biochar hold promise for long-term C sequestration. It can be concluded that land degradation is a serious problem in India which need to be tackled because shrinking of land resource base will lead to a substantial decline in food grain production which in turn would hamper the economic growth rate and there would also be unprecedented increase in mortality rate owing to hunger and malnutrition.
Powerpoint presentation related to new technologies being developed in the agriculture sector. These are considered as novel as these are not present till now.
Conservation agriculture aims to conserve, improve, and make more efficient use of natural resources through integrated soil, water, and biological management combined with minimal disturbance and external inputs. It is based on three principles: minimal soil disturbance, permanent soil cover, and crop rotations. Adopting conservation agriculture can increase soil organic matter, improve soil quality, boost crop yields, reduce erosion, and decrease costs through lower fuel and labor needs. The approach is applicable worldwide in a variety of climates and for many crops.

Strategic applications of nano-fertilizers for sustainable agriculture : Bene...Mohit Kashyap
The global population is rapidly expanding and expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050. Such a huge population coupled with increasing food demand is causing unprecedented pressure on global agriculture to provide food and environmental security (Thavaseelan and Priyadarshana 2021). Excessive use of chemical fertilizers has lead to the loss of nutrients from agricultural fields through leaching, runoff and gaseous emissions that create environmental pollution. Therefore, there is a need for developing environment friendly fertilizers having high nutrient value as well as compatibility with soil and environment. Nanotechnology is rising as a promising alternative in the form of nano-fertilizers to enhance the qualitative attributes therein.
Advancement in nanotechnology can be used to boost sustainable crop production while reducing negative impacts of chemical fertilization on the environment. A nano-fertilizer comprises nano-formulations of nutrients deliverable to plants, enabling sustained and homogenous absorption. Researches have shown that nano-fertilizers can enhance plant productivity, increase nutrient usage, reduces soil toxicity as well as fertilizer application frequency and mitigate possible adverse effects of excessive use of chemical fertilizers. Nano-fertilizers have become critically important for promoting the development of environment-friendly and sustainable agriculture. Synthesis of nano-fertilizers is a cumbersome process and includes physical, chemical and biological methods. Raliya and Tarafdar. (2013) observed a significant enhancement in plant growth and dry biomass due to nano ZnO particles over ordinary ZnO. Kanjana. (2020) revealed that foliar application of nano-fertilizers significantly increased the seed cotton yield by 16.0 % over normal micronutrients.
Davarpanah et al. (2017) reported that foliar nitrogen fertilization increased pomegranate fruit yield by 17 percent to 44 percent and number of fruits per tree by 15 percent to 38 percent while the highest fruit yield (17.8 and 21.9 kg tree-1) and number of fruits per tree (62.8 and 70.1 tree-1) were obtained with application of nano-N @ 0.50 g N l-1. Hayyawi et al. (2018) revealed that foliar fertilization of nano super micro plus against di and tri-application (nano-N+P+K, N+P, N+K, P+K) of nano nitrogen fertilizer resulted in better growth and yield parameters of wheat in comparison to control. Therefore, nano-fertilizers can be used to enhance the agricultural productivity, sustainability value and environmental quality.
To conclude, nano-fertilizers positively affect the agricultural sector by reducing the volume of conventional fertilizers currently applied in addition to achieve higher crop yield. Nano-fertilizers may lead to self-reliance and help in meeting sustainable development goals with reduced environmental footprints.
Conservation Agriculture: Principles, Land Management and Ecosystem Services discusses the principles and benefits of conservation agriculture (CA). CA involves three principles: (1) minimum mechanical soil disturbance, (2) permanent organic soil cover, and (3) crop rotation. The document argues that CA can reverse soil degradation, increase soil health and structure, reduce erosion, increase water retention, and enhance biodiversity compared to conventional tillage agriculture. CA is presented as a sustainable agricultural approach that can increase productivity while preserving resources and the environment.

Transforming Rice Value Chains: The Sustainable Rice Platform (SRP)Sri Lmb
The document summarizes information about the Sustainable Rice Platform (SRP), a public-private partnership founded in 2011 by UN Environment and the International Rice Research Institute. The SRP aims to reduce vulnerability and enhance food security and resource efficiency in the rice sector through knowledge sharing and catalyzing sector transformation. It has over 70 institutional members representing governments, private sector, producers, and researchers. The SRP developed the world's first rice sustainability standard version 1.0 and aims to have 1 million farmers adopt climate-smart sustainable practices by 2021 through field validation programs across multiple countries. The coordinator expressed support for benchmarking SRI guidelines with the SRP standard to drive uptake of sustainable rice in the Mekong region.
The document discusses the role of science in agriculture. It notes that agriculture faces challenges from factors like climate change, competition for land, and pests and diseases. Science can help address these challenges by developing new crops that are resistant to pests and diseases, using precision agriculture to optimize resource use, and better understanding issues like the environmental impacts of pesticides. The document argues that maintaining the UK's position as a global leader in agricultural technology and innovation will require increased collaboration, investment, and attracting talented people into the agriculture sector.
The document defines resources as all materials in the environment that satisfy human needs. Resources can be natural, human-made, or human. Natural resources come directly from nature and include air, water, soils, and minerals. They are classified based on their level of development/use, origin, stock, and distribution. Human-made resources are created from natural resources using human labor and technology. People themselves are the most important resource as their ideas, knowledge, and inventions create more resources over time. Conservation of resources involves sustainably using and managing resources to balance current and future human needs.
The document is about classifying and defining different types of resources. It discusses:
1) There are three main types of resources: natural resources which come directly from nature, human resources which are people, and human-made resources which are created through human modification of natural substances.
2) Natural resources can be further classified as renewable resources like water and forests that regenerate and non-renewable resources like coal and oil that do not regenerate on a human timescale.
3) Conservation of resources through sustainable use is important to ensure resources last for future generations. Sustainable development balances current resource use with conservation for the future.
A resource is a physical material that humans need and value such as land, air, and water. Resources are characterized as renewable or nonrenewable; a renewable resource can replenish itself at the rate it is used, while a nonrenewable resource has a limited supply.A resource has some value. The value can be associated with money (i.e. you have to pay money to get it), or just mental satisfaction (e.g. when you look at a beautiful painting or scenery, it feels pleasant, so the painting or scenery has utility).
Examples of resources include books, stationery material, clothes, utensils, furniture, your teacher, school, rivers, water, electricity, and so on. A substance may or may not be a resource depending on our knowledge. If we do not know how to write with a pen, then certainly the pen has no utility for us. So, in this case, the pen is not a resource. However, for those who know how to use a pen, it is a resource. So technology, ideas, knowledge, inventions, discoveries, etc. make a substance a resource.
Time may also be a factor involved in making a substance a resource. Water has always been there, but its utility to manufacture electricity was not always known.
When people realized that water can be used to produce electricity, water became a resource in a new way.
Resources may be natural, human, or human-made.
Natural resources are those that are taken from nature. They are used without modifying them, i.e. in the same form as they exist in. Rivers, lakes, air, soils, minerals, trees, mountains, etc. are natural resources.
On the basis of level of development of resource, a natural resource can be actual or potential. An actual resource is one which is used currently. We know their quantity. Examples are: coal deposits. A potential resource is one whose utility is not known at present or is not used despite having utility; instead it may be useful at some time in future. It means that it has the potential to have utility, although it does not have any today. Examples include uranium deposits in Ladakh.
On the basis of origin, a resource can be abiotic or biotic. A biotic resource is one that has life. Examples: plants and animals. An abiotic resource is non-living. Examples: soils, rocks, furniture, books.
Natural resources may also be classified as renewable and non-renewable. A renewable resource can be used without any risk of its ending up. They exist in unlimited quantity, for example solar energy, and wind energy. On the other hand, use of non-renewable resources need to be controlled since once they end up, they cannot be renewed. Examples: coal, petroleum.
On the basis of distribution, a resource can be ubiquitous or localised. A ubiquitous resource is found everywhere, like air. A localised resource is, however, found in certain parts of the world only, like we cannot find coal everywhere.

The document defines and classifies resources according to their origin, renewability, distribution, development potential, and how they are obtained and used by humans. Resources are things that fulfill human needs and have utility or value. They include natural resources drawn directly from nature as well as human-made resources created through human ideas, knowledge, and technology. Resources can be biotic or abiotic, renewable or non-renewable, ubiquitous or localized, actual or potential. People are an important resource, and sustainable development aims to ensure responsible use of resources for current and future generations.

Natural resources are materials that exist freely in nature and are not produced by human activity. They include things like soil, water, air, plants, animals and minerals. Renewable resources can be replenished naturally, like plants and animals, while non-renewable resources exist in finite amounts and cannot be regenerated, such as minerals. Natural resources can also be classified as biotic resources, which come from living organisms, and abiotic resources, which are non-living materials like air, land and water. They can also be categorized based on their stage of development, such as potential resources that may be usable in the future, actual resources currently in use, reserve resources that can be developed later, and stock resources that exist
Resources are materials or substances that are valuable and beneficial to human beings. They can be natural, human, or man-made, and they play a critical role in our daily lives and economic activities. Understanding resources involves knowing their types, uses, distribution, and management.

Anything that satisfies a need is considered a resource. Resources have utility or usefulness, economic value, and are derived from natural or human-made sources. The distribution of resources is unequal globally depending on factors like climate and geography. People are the most important resource as their ideas, knowledge, and inventions can transform natural materials into new resources through technology over time. Conservation of resources through sustainable use and development is important to preserve the planet's life support systems for future generations.
Resource development relies on an interdependent relationship between nature, technology, and institutions. Resources can be renewable like solar and wind energy, or non-renewable like minerals and fossil fuels. Resources can also be owned individually, by communities, nationally, or internationally. Potential resources have not been utilized yet, while developed resources have been surveyed and reserves determined. Sustainable development means economic development without damaging the environment or future generations. Proper resource utilization and conservation are necessary for India's balanced development.
Lesson 1.pptx What is a Natural Resource?IrynaGobyr1
Natural resources are derived from
the environment. Many natural resources are essential for human survival, while others are used for satisfying human desire. Conservation is the management of natural resources with the goal of sustainability. Natural resources may be further classified in different ways.
The document discusses resources and how things become resources. It provides examples of natural resources like water and electricity that children use. Amma explains that for something to be a resource it must have utility or a use. She says resources can have economic value or not, like metals versus landscapes. The document also discusses how human skills and ideas can create more resources through inventions and technology. It emphasizes the importance of conserving resources through reducing consumption and recycling.
A resource is a source or supply that produces benefits and satisfies needs. Resources can be natural, human-made, or human. Natural resources come from the environment and include materials like land, water, air, minerals, plants and animals. Human-made resources are natural substances changed by humans into buildings, machines etc. Human resources refer to people's skills, labor, knowledge and organizations. Resources are classified by their origin, development level, availability, and distribution. Conservation aims to manage natural resources sustainably for current and future use.

It emphasizes the importance of conserving resources through reducing consumption and recycling.
A resource is a source or supply that produces benefits and satisfies needs. Resources can be natural, human-made, or human. Natural resources come from the environment and include materials like land, water, air, minerals, plants and animals. Human-made resources are natural substances changed by humans into buildings, machines etc. Human resources refer to people's skills, labor, knowledge and organizations. Resources are classified by their origin, development level, availability, and distribution. Conservation aims to manage natural resources sustainably for current and future use.

This ppt is all about The DAV Class-VIII SSt. (Geography). Refer to it. It is a beautifully made presentation go through it. You can use this for your notes writing purposes.
This document discusses resources, including:
1) It defines resources as something that provides humans with products or places and has potential to be utilized.
2) It lists three types of resources: natural, man-made, and human. Natural resources come directly from nature while man-made are modified by humans.
3) Natural resources include coal, fossil fuels, energy sources like nuclear, hydropower, and biomass. Man-made resources are made by humans to improve lives.
Resources are defined as matter, space and time utilized for the wellbeing of mankind is called as resources. The natural resources are materials, which living organisms can take from nature for sustaining their life or any components of the natural environment that can be utilized by man to promote his welfare is considered to be natural resources.
This document provides information about different types of resources. It defines resources as anything with utility that satisfies human needs. Resources are classified as natural resources, human-made resources, or human resources. Natural resources are drawn directly from nature and include things like air, water, soil and minerals. They can be renewable, like solar and wind energy, or non-renewable, with limited stocks like coal. Human-made resources are manufactured goods like buildings and vehicles. People are also considered a resource, as human capital in the form of skills, knowledge, education and health. The document stresses the importance of sustainably managing resources for current and future generations.
The concept of resource is subjective, relative and a functional one. Resources are dynamic, becoming available to man through a combination of increased knowledge and expanding technology, as well as changing individual and societal objectives. These evolve from a 3-way interaction of natural, human and cultural assets. Resources are not, they become; they are not static but expand and contract in response to human wants and human actions. Thus, resources are defined by mankind’s perceptions and attitudes, wants and technological skills, legal, financial and institutional arrangements as well as by political customs.
A geographer studies natural resources through surveying, mapping, and measurement of the resources’ supply and demand as well as their characteristics and properties; he can also elaborate on the studies of alternative allocations (spatial, temporal, functional) in terms of users, facilities and activities; he can help study the variables (biophysical, technological, economic, social, political, institutional, legal) that condition resource allocation or development; finally; he can well study the impact of specific resource allocations and use. Thus, as resource analysts a Geographer seeks to understand its fundamental characteristics, and the processes through which they are allocated and utilized. Resource developers depend on the resource managers for guideline, while the managerial actions are absolutely governed by the investigative studies of resource analysts or the geographers. Geographers now use modern tools of geoinformatics to achieve his goal. This particular presentation is all about these, i.e., how geographers can play a vital role in the entire process of resource management through perception, appraisal, utilization, and impact assessment.
This document discusses resources from a geographic perspective. It begins by defining resources as biotic and abiotic substances that satisfy human needs and desires. It then provides definitions of resources from various scholars that emphasize resources are things in the environment that are useful to humans. The document discusses how factors like culture, technology, economics influence how societies perceive, value and utilize resources. It introduces concepts like resources, resistances and neutral stuff to categorize elements of the environment. Finally, it explains how scarcity, both absolute and relative, affects the economic valuation of resources.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

In this chapter youwill learn:
What is resource, its uses, value
2. Different types of resources based on development, use, origin, distribution
What is natural resource with examples and activity
What is human made resource
What is human resources
How do we do resource conservation?
1.1) Look At these pictures :
1)
2)
( Each of This has Its use like clothes we need to wear, Utensils for
cooking Food, Foodgrains to eat, Books to read and Write.) So all of
these has its own purpose an use, that is why they all are Important
and so known as Resources.
3. For Example:
1) Water ( Is an resource as we use it to drink)
2) Electricity ( It is an Resource as we use to light our homes and many other
uses)
3) Vegetable ( It is an Resource as we use to eat)
4) Textbook ( we use it to read)
5) Auto rickshaw( It is an Resource as we use it for travelling)
“Sowe Cansaythatanything that can beused to satisfy a need is a resource.”
So utility or usability makes an Object or substance resource.
al
Let’s Do
Look Around You and list out all the resources and so its use.
Then prepare a list and Differentiate 5 Items of household resources
and 5 of Classroom resources.
4. Note: Things become Resources only when they have Value. And so its use or utility
gives it a value, therefore all resources have its value.
Some have more value, less value. Value means Worth. Value means Worth; some has
economic value, while some don’t have it.
For Example:
1) Pictures of Metals and Gold
Both have Economic value but at same time if we look at pictures of beautiful landscape or
Waterfall (Both are Resources but don’t have economic value)
5. Similarly some of the resources become economically valuable with time
Like Grandmother Medicine remedies have no commercial value today but if
they are patented and sold in the market, it could become economically
valuable
So Time and Technology are the two important factors that can change the substances into
resources. People themselves are the most important resource as by their inventions,
discoveries lead to creation of more resources.
For Example:
Discovery
of Fire
Whichledto
cooking?
6. Similarly invention of wheel has led to development of modes of transport
A best example is the love between mother and a child where
Where motheristhe valuable

importantResource.
7. Activity:
Circle those items which have no commercial value in the following
1) Cotton Cloth
2) Intelligence
3) Iron Ore
4) Agricultural land
5) Old Folk Songs
6) Beautiful scenery
7) Clean environment
8) Coal deposits
9) Good weather
10) Medicinal Plants
1.2) Types of resources
Resources are generally classified into:
a) Natural
b) Human made
c) Human
1.3
A) Natural Resources
Resources which are free gifts of nature that can be drawn from nature and used with
put much modification are called as NATURAL RESOURCE.
For Example:
1) The Air we breathe
8. 2) The water in lakes and rivers
3) Beautiful Flowers
Now, these natural resources are classified into different groups depending upon their
level of development and use, origin, stock and distribution.
1.4) On the basis of their development and use Resources can be classified into
a) ACTUAL
b) POTENTIAL
A) Actual Resources
Actual resources are those that have been surveyed, their
quantity and quality determined, and are being used in
present times.
9. For Example :
i) Petroleum and natural gas is actively being obtained from the Mumbai High Fields.
ii) Dark soils of deccan Plateau in maharashtra
B) Potential Resources
Potential resources are those whose entire quantity may not be known and these are not being used at
present. These resources could be used in future. The level of technology we have at present may not be
advanced enough to easily utilise these resources.
Eg:- Uranium found in Jammu Kashmir
Similarly High speed winds were Potential resource 200 years ago but at present is Actual resource
See the following picture of wind mill.
10. Learning by doing
Collect pictures of actual resources and paste in chart .
1.5) Based on their Origin
They are classified as BIOTIC and ABIOTIC Resources
Biotic Resources areliving whereas A biotic arenon Living.
Activity
Differentiate among the pictures as Biotic or A biotic
11. 1.6) Natural resources can be broadly classified into
Renewable and non renewable resources.
12. i) Renewable resources
A renewable resource isa resource which is replaced naturally and can be used again. But still careless use
of renewable resource will lead to shortage.
Examples:
1) Fresh water 2) Forest
3: timber
II) Non renewable Resources
Non-renewable resourcesare resourcesforwhichthere isalimitedsupply.The supplycomesfrom the Earth
itself and, as it typically takes millions of years to develop, is finite.
Examples are:
13. 1) Fossil fuels 2) Coal
3:Petroluem
Learning by Doing
Activity ( Think of few renewable natural resources and mention how their
stock may get affected by overuse.)
1.7) On the basis of their distribution Resources are Classified as
I ) Ubiquitous ( Resources that are found everywhere like the air we breathe)
14. ii) Localised (Resources that are found certain area like Copper and Iron ore.)
1.8) Human Made resources
When a natural resource undergoes drastic change by human intervention, it becomes human-made
resource.
For Example : Iron Ore was not Natural Resource until it was been extracted from ground.
Similarly people use natural resources to make buildings, roads, bridges etc
Technology is also a human made resource.
Learning By doing
Activity (Make a list of five human made resources that can you observe around you.)
1.9) Human resource
(People can make best use of resources when they have knowledge, skills,
Technology. That is human being is the special resource. People are human resource).
Note ( Human resource refers to number ( quantity) and abilities ( mental and
physical) of the people).
For Example :
15. u
So from above pictures it’s clear about human resources. Humans. are interdependent
on each other.

the
solution?
That’s it!
It’sall thanks to
knowledge,skill
and education....
we couldfinda
solution.
16. Learning By doing
Activity: write down few examples of human resources
1.10) Resource Conservation
Using Resources Carefully and giving them time to get renewed is called resource conservation.
Conservation of resources means to save-up resources and to use them optimally. For instance in today's
worldenergyconservationhasgrowninimportance.Alsogrowninsignificance is water conservation. Fresh
waterreserve levels across the world have gone down.. Hence it's become very important to optimize the
usage of water.Shortershowers,rainwaterharvesting,avoidingcarwashetc can save up to gallons of fresh
water per day.
Balancing the need to use resources and also conserve them for the future is called Sustainable Development .
Each Person can contribute towards resource conservation by
Reducing the Consumption
(Like use of water, electricity if not in use turn off to save it)
17. These are few pictures relating to water conservation .
As every drop of water is precious .and life without water is impossible,
Recycling
(It involves after use of things again recycle it to use like paper(newspaper can recycled to prepare packets and
shopping bags, discarded clothes are used to prepare bags,bamboo sticks can be used to prepare baskets)
19. Ultimately it makes a difference as all our lives are linked with each other.
Now, watch this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42lxgPflEKM
the future ofourplanet and itspeople is linkedwith our ability tomaintain and preserve the life support system
that nature provides. Therefore its our duty to ensure that :
All uses of renewable resources are sustainable
The diversity of life on the earth is conserved
The damage to natural environmental system is minimised.
20. Some principles of sustainable development
Respect and care for all forms of life
Improves the quality of human life
Conserve the earth vitality and diversity
Minimise the depletion of natural resources
Change personal attitude and practises towards the environment
Enable communities to care for their own environment .
Glossary
