Land is a naturally occurring resource that differs from capital and labor in that its overall supply cannot be increased to meet demand. While the total supply of land is fixed, the supply available for a specific use or industry is not, as land use can shift between agricultural, recreational, and residential depending on who offers the highest price. As the price paid for land increases, more land will be supplied for that particular use, resulting in an upward-sloping and elastic supply curve for land available to individual markets.
