The document summarizes the main activities in the primary economic sector: 1) Arable farming includes dry crops like grapes, olives and cereals that only need rainwater, as well as irrigated crops like fruits, vegetables and rice that require additional water. 2) Livestock farming is the breeding of animals outdoors in extensive farming or indoors in intensive farming. 3) Fishing involves catching fish from rivers, lakes, seas and oceans, through either deep sea or coastal fishing. 4) Mining extracts natural materials from the Earth's crust through either underground or open cast mining. 5) Forestry exploits forests through activities like obtaining cork from cork oak trees.

15. 3. FISHING (PESCA)
What is it? Types
It is to catch fish and other
animals from rivers,lakes,
seas and oceans.
Deep sea fishing
(pesca de altura)
Coastal fishing
(pesca de
bajura)
It takes place far
away from the coast.
It takes place near
the coast.

16. DEEP SEA FISHING

17. COASTAL FISHING

18. 4. MINING (MINERÍA)
What is it? Types
It is to take natural
materials from the Earth's
crust.
Underground mining
It takes place below the
Earth's surface
Open cast mining
It takes place on the
surface.

19. UNDERGROUND MINING

20. OPEN CAST MINING

21. 5. FORESTRY (SILVICULTURA)
It is the explotation of forests. For example, when we get
cork from cork oaks.
