A resource is anything people use.

Social Studies in the New Zealand Curriculum gives this definition for a resource:

anything used directly by people; in an economics sense, resources may mean stock that can be drawn on (Natural resources are the "stock" of the land; human resources are people and their knowledge, skills, inventiveness, and ingenuity; and resources produced by people include available goods and financial capital.)
