Answer:

Farmers in Mesoamerica face a variety of problems, including a lack of available land and bad soil quality. Slash-and-burn techniques and leaving fields fallow for a period of time in a milpa cycle are the two primary ways to tackle poor soil quality, or a lack of nutrients in the soil.

The fact that few archaeological sites relevant to the topic have been investigated makes it difficult to consider Mesoamerican agricultural origins.
