Create a worksheet for a first year geography class in ireland on primary economic activities in ireland

Primary economic activities in Ireland focus on the extraction and utilization of raw materials directly from the environment. Key sectors include agriculture, fishing, forestry, and mining. Agriculture is a vital part of rural Ireland, benefiting from a favorable climate for grazing cattle and crop cultivation. Fishing is significant due to the country's extensive coastline, with major ports like Killybegs facilitating the fishing of various species. Forestry has seen growth, covering approximately 11% of Ireland's land, while mining contributes important minerals to the economy. The future of these sectors faces challenges such as climate change and resource sustainability.
