With a limited agricultural and fishing area, and growing population, Athens did two things - it sent out surplus population to found new city-states around the Mediterranean, and became involved in trade to produce food imports, first with it's daughter cities and then more widely with other Greek cities and then foreign peoples. Its exports included fabrics, metals, linen, pottery, olive oil, and wine.
