Land, water and forests are the primary
resources of agricultural production, and are the resources essential to
maintain human life and well-being. The use of these resources must be
balanced with conservation to support sustained national development,
and to avoid environmental degradation and losses in agricultural
productivity. The natural resource base provides many benefits to
different groups of people in both urban and rural areas.The environment
that sustains human populations is used by people in many ways. Farms
and forests supply nations with a wide range of important raw materials:
timber, wood, pulp, minerals, leather, and foodstuffs, which are
further processed into manufactured goods such as lumber. paper,
pharmaceuticals, footwear and flour. These raw materials and finished
products are important to the economic security of the country, and to
the food security of its citizens. Water resources are essential for
life, and are harnessed as a critical input for economic growth,
including agriculture and industry. Natural resources also provide rural
people with food, medicines, game, honey, gums and resins, condiments
and other goods that are exchanged or used for secondary processing, and
contribute greatly to rural subsistence economies.
