What is SELF SUFFICIENT?

Raises Bed Intensive Garden for Beets

Expect to Harvest 300 pounds of Beets from these beds.

Have you ever tried to define self sufficient?

If you have ever tried to answer this question in detail then you have faced a lot of tough choices. It seems to me that self sufficient is a condition defined by the individual. Here are a few points that I think are wroth discussing:

  • Does self sufficiency just apply to money?
  • Does it mean that you can supply all of your own needs, lock the gate and say good bye world?
  • Is it a path of life somewhat between all of the conventional life styles?
  • Do I grow all of my own food?
  • Do I produce all of my own energy?
  • Do I need my neighbors?

If you can answer all of these questions then you know what self sufficiency means. My definition of self sufficiency is that it is a path for life. On this path I will do my best to provide for my family and protect Mother Earth to the best of my ability. This means to me that I find a way to make enough money support my family. It also means that I will grow as much of my own food as possible. If I can I will produce as much of my own energy as possible. If I can’t produce my own energy then I will be energy consensus and save as much energy as possible.

My plan to self sufficiency is long and involved consisting of may steps to complete.

Good Luck with yours,

Bud
