I discuss the subject of how much land you need to be self sufficient, how that question is more difficult to answer without first knowing a lot about what you plan to do with that land and how.
But to save a liitle time.....you can grow most of what you need on 1 acre per person in a temperate zone all being well. Oddly, Alaska, in the right area offers stunning yields in a short, intense season.
Bring on the veggies. We don't need meat everyday. Dr Oz says 6oz 2x week is enough. So many variables in Self Sufficiency. We organized as communities in our civilization for a reason. Perhaps what we do well or want to do well could be our contribution. I would like for my Self sufficient lifestyle to also be my business and source of livelihood. Most of us have to have some sort of income even if it having things to barter with. I read a couple of times a story called "Ten Acres Enough" written mid 1800's. It's a great story of one mans experience. It can be found on Amazon or downloaded for free as a PDF.
Hey everyone, the greatest ideas that ive ever had was by using the Micaden Survive System (just google it) definately the most helpful survival that I've tried.
There are a lot of components to survival. One resource I discovered which successfully combines these is the Micaden Survive System (check it out on google) definately the most incredible survival website that I've heard of. Check out the awesome free video.
Yea when see and informational video all you want is the info you came for. A quick 2 min of. Tomatoes usually take x amount of land, corn requires the most land to be viable. Quick and to the point.
We're those kind of people. We live in Arizona up in the north central part. We have a decent sized yard and would at least like to be partially self sufficient. We'd like to plant as much as we can so we don't have to spend the money purchasing our fruits and vegetables from the store. I would love any information you can stand to give us if possible.
Hello fellow yavapai resident the fact that we're larger than 5 states and have a population of 200,000 out of the billions of people here on earth the chance of meeting you is slim!
making cast iron cook ware, shoes, pressure canners, glasses, batteries, solar panels, electric pumps, polymer water tanks are beyond the scope of interest of most homesteaders.
The average use globally is 2.7 hectares. That is the same size as two athletics fields. Nature provides just 1.7 bioproductive hectares per person. Thos is why we rely on fossil fuels. Thst is why we are overpopulated and why the rich countries are the most overpopulated.
