From an anthropological perspective, an economy is defined as the system through which goods and services are produced, distributed, and consumed within a society. This involves not only the material resources but also the social relationships, cultural norms, and institutions that facilitate economic activities.

Matching the technique to the type of food production strategy:

- Slash-and-burn agriculture: **Horticulture**
- Herding: **Pastoralism**
- Use of machinery: **Agriculture**
