Productivity - GCSE Geography Definition

Productivity is a measure of how much work is done or how many products are made in a certain amount of time. In geography, it often relates to how efficiently land, resources, or workers are used to produce goods, like food or manufactured items. For example, in farming, productivity can be about how much crop is harvested from a field. High productivity means getting more results with the same amount of resources, while low productivity means getting fewer. It is important for understanding how different places and economies work, and why some areas produce more than others.
