D.I.Y. Urban Homesteading

DIY urban homesteading is the practice of individuals or families managing food production, energy use, and sustainability efforts within city environments. It involves activities like growing vegetables in small gardens or containers, raising small animals such as chickens, composting, and conserving resources. The goal is to increase self-sufficiency, reduce reliance on commercial systems, and create a healthier, more sustainable urban lifestyle. This approach empowers residents to produce their own food, manage waste responsibly, and improve overall resilience, all while making efficient use of limited city space and resources.
