Self-sufficiency refers to the ability to provide for one's own needs without relying heavily on external resources or supply chains. In the UK, this often means growing your own food, generating your own energy, and reducing dependency on supermarkets and utilities. The goal is to live more sustainably and resiliently by producing essentials like vegetables, fruits, eggs, and sometimes even fuel and water onsite.
Self-sufficiency can vary from small-scale urban gardening to larger rural homesteads. It promotes environmental responsibility, financial savings, and increased food security, especially important in a world facing supply chain disruptions and climate change.
