I believe that being self-sustained means helping to save the soil (Earth ultimately) one garden at a time. I believe that it is very important for everyone who is able to participate. Currently I do no think that it is something that I could do because I currently live in a dorm and will then be living in an apartment for the next few years and will not be able to have a garden or even a yard, but one day I really hope to have a nice greenhouse to grow produce and herbs year-round.
I'm also limited by living in a dorm! Look out for a future post on container gardening. :) It is quite a stretch from a self-sustained operation, but it's a great start.
Self-sustainability, in its most basic form, is the act and process by which an individual (or household) is able to provide for itself internally without a majority of external assistance. In terms of food production and consumption, it is both a fiscally responsible and healthy method to provide oneself with home-grown produce. At this point in time, I am not able to implement such a system, mainly due to the fact that I am not a decision maker within my household, as well as a number of other minor reasons (living space, neighborhood/community zoning regulations, etc.). Personally, however, I do not see myself implementing a self-sustainable garden for myself in the near future.
