One of the oldest methods of farming for the Maya civilization was slash-and-burn agriculture. This involved cutting down vegetation, burning it to clear land, and then planting crops in the nutrient-rich ash. This practice allowed the Maya to cultivate crops such as maize, beans, and squash in the nutrient-poor soils of the region.
The Mayas started farming to ensure a stable food supply to support their growing population. Farming also allowed them to settle in one place and develop complex societies and cultures.
One major agricultural advancement of the Incas was the development of terraced farming on steep mountain slopes. This enabled them to cultivate crops at high altitudes where traditional farming methods would not have been possible. The Incas also utilized a sophisticated irrigation system to efficiently manage water resources for their crops.
The Inca civilization had highly advanced agricultural techniques such as terraced farming, irrigation systems, and crop storage that allowed them to produce food surpluses. The Aztecs also had sophisticated farming methods like chinampas (floating gardens), but they did not have the same level of agricultural productivity as the Inca.
People began farming as a way to secure a more stable food source than hunting and gathering. Farming allowed for the domestication of plants and animals, providing a reliable and consistent supply of food. Additionally, farming led to the development of settlements and the growth of societies.
The oldest continuously inhabited settlement in Hispaniola is Santo Domingo, which was founded by Bartholomew Columbus, brother of Christopher Columbus, in 1498. It is the capital of the Dominican Republic and one of the oldest European settlements in the Americas.

Mixed farming is a type of farming that uses both arable and livestock farming. All farms in the United States do not employ both methods but instead employ only one or the other.
One way is they use artificial/chemical fertilizers for the soil to encourage the crops to grow faster.
