What to Focus On

  • Ecosystem includes living and non-living components.
  • Agro-ecosystems are human-made ecosystems.
  • Source function is for use and harvesting of resources.
  • Resources have utility, limited availability and consumption.
  • Renewable resources are replenished quickly.
  • Sunlight, air and wind are perpetual resources.
  • Scarcity arises when demand is greater than availability.
  • Human wants are unlimited.
  • Economic growth means more goods and services over time.
