How did New England’s geography affect its economy?

please i need help its dur tonight:((

Since the soil and weather in New England were not suitable for farming, many people did not farm. Instead, they imported crops from other regions or even other countries. In return, they would trade products they had to other countries. ... That is also a factor that affected what goods people in New England would trade.

meaning the clothes cost alot of money

the answer to fill in the blank in this question would be the word resource, it is defined as the money, material or people (since human resource is a very valuable good) that a company or a person has at disposition (meaning they can use the resource as they see fit), to be able to complete a task or achieve a goal.
