land-based activities

Land-based activities refer to processes and operations that occur on Earth's land surfaces, primarily involving the use of land for economic and social purposes. These include agriculture (farming and livestock), construction (building infrastructure), mining for minerals, forestry, and land management. Such activities are essential for providing food, resources, and space for communities but can also impact ecosystems and environmental health. Effective land-based management aims to balance development needs with environmental sustainability, ensuring land remains productive and healthy for future generations.
