Self sustainability

Living in a more complex world abstracts away many struggles we’ve had in the past.
In some way it’s nice, because it lets us focus on other things, but we get more disconnected from the essentials.

Nowadays we unlearned the foundational things like growing herbs, fruits and vegetables.

Understanding how to live more self sustaining can protect ourselves during uncertain times like economic recessions, high inflation/deflation times, pandemics (due to lockdowns) and war times where trade might be affected.

I’ve read the term “natural dividends” by somebody who’s into the stock market and harvesting his own chillies.
