Factors of production are the resources required for the provision of goods and services. They are the inputs used in the production process to create output. The factors of production are commonly classified into four categories: land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship. Land refers to natural resources like minerals, water, and forests. Labor is the work done by people. Capital includes physical capital like buildings, machinery, and equipment, and financial capital like money used to invest in production. Entrepreneurship is the skill involved in deciding what to produce, how to produce it, and how to distribute it. Together, these factors of production are used to create goods and services for consumption by individuals and businesses.
