the word productive often describes a person's capability to do a lot of work, but is can refer to anything that produces a lot. the land in your area might be the most productive in the state, meaning crops grow very well there. productive can be used more broadly to describe something that produces a positive result. for example, you might have a productive conversation with your mom about your college plans, or you might make a productive investment.
hope this helps :)
