Planting multiple crops together on a field and harvesting them at different times.

Explanation:

Natural resources are those resources which are available naturally. These resources are abundantly available in nature and can support the lives of living beings. The examples are air, water, wood, wind, natural gas, coal, and iron. Sustainable use of natural resources implies that the use of resources in a way that it remains available for the present as well as for the future generation.

Planting multiple crops together in the same field and having different times of harvesting is a sustainable use of resources. Here, the use of soil is sustainably. The different crops are likely to retain the nutrient content of the soil which will make the soil available for the growth of future crops.
