Primary sector jobs: obtain or process natural products
Secondary sector jobs transform natural products into

Tertiary sector jobs provide a service

7. Primary Sector
 The primary sector obtain or process natural products.
 These natural resources can come from livestock, crops, the sea
or from the Earth.
 These jobs include:
Livestock Farmer
Fisherman
Arable Farmer
Miner

8. Arable Farming
 Arable 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.

10. Livestock Farming
Livestock farmers rear animals such as cows, pigs, sheep and
chickens.
Rear (verb) to look after
animals
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.

natural products into other things.

farmers and then used by secondary sector jobs to make
into products.
This can be done by craft or by industry.

13. Craft Workers
Craft workers use their hands or simple tools to make unique
products.
