Economic geography plays an important role in helping us develop better and more sustainable practices. However, there are some challenges we need to overcome:

1. Unfair Trade Practices: Some areas have a hard time getting the resources they need because of unfair trade systems. This is especially true for poorer regions.

2. Uneven Use of Resources: When we use too many natural resources, it can harm the environment. This makes it harder for us to maintain a sustainable future.

To tackle these challenges, policymakers should focus on:

• Creating fair trade agreements that help everyone.
• Promoting smart ways to manage and use resources sustainably.
• Supporting local economies so they don’t rely too much on global trade networks.
