Which agricultural challenge did pre-Columbian chinampa systems primarily address in the Valley of Mexico?

💡 Explanation

Chinampas created "floating gardens" because they reclaimed shallow lake areas, generating productive farmland. Therefore, limited arable land was addressed, rather than erosion, flooding, or acidity which required other engineering tactics addressed by terracing, dams or soil treatments, respectively.
