Cash crops are crops grown with the intention of generating money. For instance coffee, tea, cocoa, wheat and cotton are common cash crops. Most cash crops can either be consumed directly or processed into other final products.
Non-foods Cash crops are crops grown with the intention of generating money. For instance cotton, tobacco, jute, silk and wool are common cash crops. Most cash crops can either be consumed directly or processed into other final products.
The non-timber industry, or Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs), involves harvesting and selling forest-derived goods other than wood, encompassing a vast range of items like nuts (shea), fruits, medicinal plants (ginseng), syrups, mushrooms, resins, bamboo, and honey, supporting livelihoods, food security, and conservation by providing income without cutting trees. This sector, though often informal, generates billions globally, offering crucial income for rural communities, but faces challenges in sustainable management and policy recognition
The timber industry encompasses forestry, logging, and wood processing to create products like lumber, furniture, pulp, and panels, forming a significant global economic sector vital for construction, housing, and packaging, increasingly focusing on sustainability, carbon capture, and home-grown supply to meet rising demand while reducing reliance on carbon-intensive materials. It involves managing forests for renewable resources
Terrestrial livestock refers to domesticated animals raised on land for products like meat, milk, or wool, including common farm animals such as cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, horses, and poultry (chickens, turkeys), contrasting with aquatic farmed species. These warm-blooded animals rely on land-based habitats for most of their lives and are vital to agriculture, differing from wild terrestrial animals by their domestic role, but sharing the land environment
"Livestock aquatic" refers to the diverse range of aquatic animals and plants kept in aquariums, ponds, or aquaculture systems, encompassing pet fish (freshwater like Tetras, Bettas, Goldfish; marine like Clownfish, Tangs), pond fish (Koi, Carp), invertebrates (shrimp, crabs, snails), amphibians, and corals, all available from specialist suppliers for hobbyists or farming.
Medicinal herbs are plants used for healing, flavoring, or fragrance, with traditional uses for ailments like headaches, stress, inflammation, and boosting energy, though scientific evidence varies, requiring caution and consultation with a healthcare provider due to potential interactions and side effects. Common examples include Chamomile (calming), Echinacea (immune support), Ginger (nausea), Turmeric (anti-inflammatory), Lavender (relaxation), and Ginseng (energy), but always verify safety before use.
Medicinal roots are plant roots used in traditional and herbal medicine for various health benefits, including soothing upset stomachs (Ginger), aiding sleep (Valerian), boosting immunity (Echinacea), reducing inflammation (Dandelion, Ashwagandha), enhancing energy (Maca, Suma), or supporting stress resilience (Ashwagandha)

"Processed green energy" refers to renewable energy sources that undergo conversion, refinement, or technological processing to become usable power, such as electricity, heat, or fuel. This category primarily includes bioenergy (processed organic waste) and green hydrogen (produced via electrolysis), as well as the infrastructure required to turn natural resources like wind and sun into grid-ready electricity
Harnessed green energy refers to capturing power from naturally replenishing sources like the sun, wind, water, and Earth's heat, using technologies like solar panels, turbines, and hydroelectric dams to generate electricity with low environmental impact, offering a sustainable alternative to finite fossil fuels by reducing emissions and enhancing energy security. Key methods include solar (PV/thermal), wind (onshore/offshore), hydro (dams/tidal), geothermal, and biomass, with emerging tech like fusion promising future clean power
Coal, shale, heavy oil, bitumen, and oil sands are all unconventional fossil fuels, formed from ancient organic matter, containing carbon, and extracted using advanced techniques like steam injection or heating, differing from conventional oil/gas in their geology and extraction, but serving similar energy purposes, albeit with greater environmental costs and logistical challenges
Crude oil is a major fossil fuel, formed over millions of years from the remains of ancient marine organisms (plankton, algae) subjected to intense heat and pressure, making it a complex mixture of hydrocarbons. Extracted from underground, it's refined into essential products like gasoline, diesel, and plastics, but burning it releases significant greenhouse gases, contributing to climate change, and its extraction poses environmental risks like oil
Light Rare Earth Elements (LREEs) are the first, more abundant group of lanthanides (Cerium, Lanthanum, Praseodymium, Neodymium, Promethium, Samarium, Europium, Gadolinium), crucial for modern tech like powerful magnets in EVs, wind turbines, electronics, and catalysis, despite being hard to isolate despite their relative abundance in the Earth's crust, unlike their less common heavy counterparts.
Heavy Rare Earth Elements (HREEs) are a subgroup of the 17 rare earths, characterized by higher atomic weights, including Terbium (Tb), Dysprosium (Dy), Holmium (Ho), Erbium (Er), Thulium (Tm), Ytterbium (Yb), Lutetium (Lu), and often Yttrium (Y), crucial for high-performance magnets in EVs and wind turbines, lasers, and defense systems due to their enhanced heat resistance, unlike more common Light Rare Earths (LREEs). They are less abundant, more expensive, and vital for high-tech applications where performance under extreme conditions is needed
Non-Metallic minerals contain one or more metallic elements, occur in natural deposits, and are valuable for extracting metals like iron, copper, gold, and zinc, used in everything from electronics to construction. Key characteristics include good conductivity (heat/electricity), malleability, and luster, with examples like hematite (iron), chalcopyrite (copper), and native gold. They are categorized as ferrous (containing iron) or non-ferrous, and their extraction involves complex mining and processing to obtain the useful metal.
