What are resources? What are its types?

Hi Anupam, A resource is a source or supply from which benefit is produced. Typically resources are materials, energy, services, staff, knowledge, or other assets that are transformed to produce benefit and in the process may be consumed or made unavailable. Benefits of resource utilization may include increased wealth, meeting needs or wants, proper functioning of a system, or enhanced well being. From a human perspective a natural resource is anything obtained from the environment to satisfy human needs and wants. From a broader biological or ecological perspective a resource satisfies the needs of a living organism (see biological resource). There three types of resources: natural, human and capital resources. A natural resource refers to elements or things found in the environment such as land, water and minerals. Human resource refers to people, while capital resources refer to money, tools and equipment. All the best.
