Detailed explanation-1: -In terms of Aztec agriculture, in order to grow all this food, the Aztecs used two main farming methods: the chinampas and terracing. Chinampas were essentially man-made islands, raised bed gardens on the surface of Lake Texcoco’s shallow waters.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Aztecs built an expansive system of aqueducts that supplied water for irrigation and bathing.
Detailed explanation-3: -Over time, the Aztecs discovered how to create irrigation systems like aqueducts and build artificial islands on that lake and surrounding bodies of water. These feats of Tenochtitlan architecture eventually helped support the largest concentration of people found in Mesoamerica at the time.
Detailed explanation-4: -Aztec farming has become most famous because of the brilliant chinampas system that Aztec farmers used. Certainly there were a number of techniques used in the Aztec empire. But with the great city of Tenochtitlan built on swampy but rich ground, the chinampas became key to the food production of the people.
