biology or geography a level

hey all.. stuck between choosing biology and geography
I'm looking to do a degree in economics in the future and am pretty neutral on these subjects

anyone have any advice comparing the two in terms of workload, content etc

I take both geo and bio and yes, they do work well together but in terms of an economics degree I don't think biology would be the best fit.
Do geography because lots of the human side involves economic, development and population theories. But I guess it does depend on what your school/college chooses for the syllabus, so maybe look into that.
Also, economics would probably require some fair essay writing skills and geography a level can defo support that.
