🌽Subsistence Farming🌽
I love producing my own food in rural South Africa🇿🇦
Subsistence farming, is a form of farming in which nearly all of the crops or livestock raised are used to maintain the farmer and the farmer's family, leaving little, if any, surplus for sale or trade. There is a direct and immediate relationship between production and consumption. Here are a few essentials to get started:
- 🐓 Buy small livestock to produce essentials like eggs and milk
- 🏡 Get land, this can be your backyard, or small affordable land
- 💪🏽 You and your family can do the labour
- 🧰 Get some tools, some examples are a hoe, rake, spade etc
- 🌱 Start collecting and saving seeds
- ❌ No need to fertilizer or pesticide, you can make your own
