2. Self-sustenance in economy

Self-sustenance in the context of Juche, the North Korean ideology, refers to the concept of economic independence and self-reliance. It emphasizes that a country should be able to produce everything it needs without relying on foreign nations. This means developing domestic industries, agriculture, and resources to support the population's needs. Juche promotes the idea that a strong, self-sufficient economy is vital for national security and pride, allowing the country to maintain control over its own development and resist external influence.
