    RESOURCES

    To waste, to destroy our natural resources, to skin and exhaust the land instead of using it so as
    to increase its usefulness, will result in undermining in the days of our children the very
    prosperity which we ought by right to hand down to them amplified and developed.
    Theodore Roosevelt
    Causes of
    Depletion of
    Land Resources
    + Population growth: As the
    population increases, the demand for
    land for housing, food production, and
    other needs also increases
    Causes of
    Depletion of
    Land Resources
    + Urbanization and Industrialization:
    The expansion of cities and industries
    often leads to the conversion of
    agricultural or forest lands into urban
    or industrial areas.
    Causes of
    Depletion of
    Land Resources
    + Deforestation and Land
    Degradation: Activities such as
    deforestation, overgrazing, and poor
    farming practices can lead to land
    degradation, reducing the amount of
    usable land.
    Causes of
    Depletion of
    Land Resources
    + Climate Change and Natural
    Disasters: Changes in climate
    patterns and natural disasters like
    floods and droughts can degrade
    land and make it unsuitable for use.
    Causes of
    Depletion of
    Land Resources
    + Inefficient Use of Land: Limited land
    productivity can result from factors
    such as small farm size,
    underutilization of land due to water
    supply issues, low operational
    efficiency of existing irrigation
    systems, and competing uses of
    agricultural lands.
    Causes of
    Depletion of Land
    Resources
    + Social Inequality: In some cases, social
    inequality can lead to an uneven
    distribution of land, with large areas
    being controlled by a small number of
    individuals or entities
