Resource distribution refers to the distribution of resources, including land, water, minerals, fuel and wealth in general among corresponding geographic entities (states, countries, etc.).
The most common use of this concept has historically been in examining the unequal distribution of resources among nation states. Such unequal distribution of resources was commonly related to land for agriculture, necessary for population growth. A more recent emphasis has been on differences from the unequal dispersion of technological progress.
Resource Depletion
Since raw materials are not equally distributed in all the countries on the earth the process of transporting them to the industries uses up fossil fuels
The growth of international trade is an aspect of globalization in the later 20th Century (see OECD), which has affected international relations. Increased international trade from removing trade barriers has narrowed income distribution among some nation states. Many wealthier countries export non-land-intensive goods and services in return for agricultural and animal products, as illustrated by Japan.
