Self-Sufficiency

There is so much talk about people needing to be more self-sufficient. We should grow our own foods. We should have large gardens, hopefully producing all of our vegetables. We should have orchards. We should have animals. We should even butcher those animals ourselves. We should grow and grind our own wheat, and make our own bread. We should become less reliant on the world to provide everything for us, for when the world comes crashing around us we will crash with it, if we are reliant upon it.

I agree with every bit of this, but the question is…is this “self-sufficiency”?
