Land here is an abstract concept that doesn’t mean just a physical plot of dirt on a continent or island but rather the total sum of all that which is pre-existing and not the work of humans which is literally the universe and the planet itself. So land in economic terms is a short hand for nature. And when you work to make something in nature useful to yourself or others that results in property in orthodox schools of economics (usually neoliberal leaning/aligned).
