Answer:

Farming

Step-by-step explanation:

Farming was difficult in the Maya region. There were dense forests, little surface water such as rivers and lakes, and the soil was poor. In the dense forest, they used a slash and burn technique to create a flat surface to plant crops. They dug canals throughout the fields to irrigate the crops.
