The three job sectors…Primary sector jobs: obtain or process

Tertiary sector jobs provide a service

Primary SectorThe primary sector obtain or process natural

products. These natural resources can come from

livestock, crops, the sea or from the Earth.These jobs include:

Arable FarmingArable farmers are farmers who grow crops.

Once farmed, crops are used for food and other products. This is important.

Dry crops, like olive trees, wheat and grapes only need rainwater to grow and can grow in poor soil (Andalucía!)

Irrigated crops, like tomatoes, potatoes and rice need a form of watering called ‘irrigation’ to grow. The farmers do this.

The Irrigation of Crops

Livestock FarmingLivestock farmers rear animals such as cows,

pigs, sheep and chickens.

From these animals, we get products like meat, milk or skins.

Intensive farming means the animals live and eat in small spaces.

Free-range farming means the animals live outside and have space to move and eat grass.

Rear (verb) to look after animals

Secondary Sector: Craft and Industry

Manufactured products are made by transforming natural products into other things.

So natural products like flour or wood are farmed by farmers and then used by secondary sector jobs to make into products.

This can be done by craft or by industry.

Craft WorkersCraft workers use their hands or simple tools to

make unique products.
