Self-Supply Approaches

Self-supply approaches refer to methods individuals or communities use to produce or gather resources they need for themselves, rather than relying on external suppliers or businesses. This can include growing food in a garden, generating electricity with solar panels, or collecting rainwater for household use. These approaches promote self-sufficiency, reduce dependence on commercial services, and can lead to cost savings while fostering a sense of community and sustainability. By utilizing local resources and skills, self-supply encourages resilience and empowerment in addressing personal or community needs.
