NATURAL RESOURCES OF NUEVO LEON
What are Natural Resources? Natural resources are things that occur
naturally, and that are useful to us. They include fuels such as oil and natural gas, and materials such as iron ore, and timber.
Natural resources may be renewable or non-renewable
Renewable resources are those that are replaced in nature at a rate close to their rate of use e.g. plants, forests and animals. Care is needed to make sure resources are used sustainably and not over- harvested. There are non-living renewable resources too such as hydroelectric power, solar power, biomass fuel, and wind power.
Non-renewable resources exist in fixed amounts or are used up faster than they can be replaced in nature e.g. fossil fuels. (Fossil fuels could be counted as renewable but as they take millions of years to form they are not practically considered 'renewable'.)
Nuevo León grows corn for animal feed, some fruits and also uses land for husbandry. We also have beautiful national parks protected as natural reserves.
6% of the state surface is used in agriculture. The main crops are corn for animal feed, mandarin orange, apple, orange, pecans, potato, sorghum, grapefruit and wheat.
86% of the land is used for raising livestock. Birds for eggs and meat, cattle, sheep, goat and pork are the main staples.
Zaragoza and Apodaca municipalities also have small-scale fish breeding.
As for wood, needle bush (acacia) and pine trees are the most used resources
