As defined by Wikipedia

A ‘renewable resource’ is an organic natural resource which can replenish to overcome usage and consumption, either through biological reproduction or other naturally reoccurring processes in a finite amount of time. Renewable resources are a part of Earth’s natural environment and the largest components of its ecosphere. A positive life cycle assessment is a key indicator of a resource’s sustainability.^[1]

Definitions of renewable: resources may also include agricultural production, as in sustainable agriculture and to an extent water resources.^[2] In 1962 Paul Alfred Weiss defined Renewable Resources as: “The total range of living organisms providing man with food, fibres, drugs, etc…“.^[3] Another type of renewable resources is renewable energy resources. Common sources of renewable energy include solar, geothermal and wind power, which are all categorised as renewable resources.
