En ressurs er noe vi mennesker har nytte av. Berggrunnen, jorda, skogen, havet og ferskvannet er eksempler på naturressurser som vi har nytte av. Hva som regnes som en ressurs, har endret seg mye opp gjennom tidene. Steinaldermenneskene hadde helt andre måter å bruke berggrunnen på enn vi har i dag.
