Answer:
farming
Step-by-step explanation:
The primary sector, agriculture and extractivism, focused on tropical crop production, is primarily responsible for the economy and for employing most of the labor force in Central American countries. Agriculture is practiced in subsistence or plantation models. Subsistence agriculture, practiced on small farms, aims to feed the producer and his family, generating a small commercial surplus for the domestic market and is mainly responsible for the population's food supply. Despite practicing this model, Central America suffers from land concentration, and often countries are forced to import food from other locations, subject to fluctuations in the international market.
