chapter, you will learn about economic opportunities available

Identifying opportunities for income generating activities
in different areas

Income generating activities depend on the opportunities
available in the environment. People who live in forest areas
keep bees. They also produce bee products, such as honey and
wax. They sell these products to get money.

Some people live near rivers, lakes, dams and oceans. They
fish and sell fish and their products. Some live in places where
there are many people. These people do business.

Other people live in areas where there is enough rainfall. They
engage in farming activities. All these types of work are income

generating activities. These activities are also called economic
activities.

Think

What opportunities for income generation are found
in the area you live?
