Self-reliant living can take many forms. You can provide your own food and energy and be your own barber, repair person, home-school teacher, house cleaner, painter, and child care provider. By running a home-based business, you can generate the money needed to obtain essential products or services you’re unable to produce for yourself.
Transitioning to self-sufficient living requires research and planning. But have no fear: You can get started today, wherever you live and with whatever resources and skills you already have.
Self-sufficiency is often imagined in a suburban setting, where more land is available near one’s home, such as gardens or front yards. Averagely, at least 5 acres of land is required per person to be set up a self-sufficient house, and that is if you are on a vegan diet as livestock will take up at least 30 more acres of land! This amount of land will be able to provide for the average 2,000-kcal diet for an average human. Electricity-wise, around 25 pieces of solar panels will have to be installed to power for a one-person home, which takes up 375 square foot on your roof, and that is if it’s sunny every day!
Surprisingly, with all the land required, self-sufficient living in the city is possible too. Smaller space only means that every decision you make will be more significant and thus requires more consideration. Here are some simple tips on how to be self-sufficient in an apartment, you can even create self-sustaining tiny homes!
