Answer:

1. The Maya, Aztec, and Inca civilizations ate simple food. Corn (maize) was the central food in their diet, along with vegetables such as beans and squash. ... Avocados and tomatoes were mainly eaten by the Aztecs and Maya, along with a wide variety of fruit. 2.Most of the ancient Maya were farmers. They were very good farmers and grew more food than they needed. This extra food was called surplus crops. The surplus was stored in warehouses in each city-state to be used for trade and to feed people in each city-state who needed it. 3.These techniques, such as integrated crop-livestock systems, soil terracing, and intercropping, were invented by long-ago farming societies to maintain fertility and soil structure or increase harvests. For many farmers, simpler methods can be as valuable today as they were in the past
