Maya Agriculture
The Mayan economy was largely based on trading goods and needs.Some of the food they planted for trading were , corn , beans and squash . I think the most important thing they traded was clothes for food in return .
"Basic agriculture — mostly production of corn, beans, and squash — was the daily task of the majority of the Maya population. Using basic slash-and-burn agriculture, Maya families would plant a series of fields which would be allowed to lie fallow at times."
