The global trend is a correspondence between the efficient use of natural resources and development that allows us to face the challenges of providing food, water and energy to allow the entire population a decent life. In recent years the use of natural resources has entered into a strong debate, in which it has not been well understood that technology is much more than its practical applications, it is the result of the conceptual building of science; It is therefore a collective cultural work that, locally, learns from the environment and takes advantage of resources without rupturing the social fabric. It is our feeling that technologies applied to natural resources develop a space focused on knowledge of natural resources, and the management of technical tools that allow these resources to be exploited, within a range of sustainable development. Natural resources are the elements of nature that man can use and take advantage of. These natural resources also represent sources of wealth for economic exploitation. For example, minerals, soil, animals and plants constitute natural resources that man can use directly as sources for this exploitation. Similarly, fuels, wind and water can be used as natural resources for energy production. But the best use of a natural resource depends on the knowledge that man has in this regard, and on the laws that govern the conservation of the megadiversity of our country.
