First off, that question doesnt belong in the economics forum- more anthropology.
Its pretty simple. In areas where resources (aka combo of food, finances and shelter) are scarce, humans must decide to use those resources to take care of themselves or pass those resources on to another generation....and what is a happy medium between those.

I think it's still a economics questions related to opportunity cost.
resources are scarce, if you used the land to produce goods for survival, say grow vegetables; then you are giving up the alternative of building an factory.
factories can produce clothing, but will not help with survival directly
