B. Agriculture

The Mayan civilization was particularly successful in agriculture. They developed intricate agricultural techniques to sustain large populations throughout the regions of present-day Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, and El Salvador. Despite living in diverse and often difficult geographic environments, they were able to adapt and create productive agricultural systems. The Maya used slash-and-burn techniques (swidden agriculture) to clear patches of land in the forest. They also built raised fields to manage water during the rainy seasons and grew crops such as maize (corn), beans, squash, and chili peppers extensively. These agricultural developments allowed the Maya to support large city-states and create a civilization with complex social structures, an intricate calendar system, and monumental architecture.
