What Is Self Sufficiency
general
Self-sufficiency is a lifestyle in which everything consumed has been produced by the self-sufficient individuals themselves. This is obviously extremely difficult to achieve and so the term is also used to describe those that sell, barter, and swap goods and services with others. A self-sufficient person would not make their own glass to replace a window for example, the term refers more to a sustainable type of living in which people grow their own food and use Renewable Energy. Self Sufficiency is also known as Homesteading or the Back to the Land movement.
