Although you might not live in the mountains or on a farm on the homestead of your dreams, it is still possible to be more self sufficient in the busy city or suburbia you live in. Essentially, self sufficiency is simply about developing resourcefulness, conserving energy, and taking more responsibility for the way that you live. A large part of being self sufficient in suburbia means decreasing your dependence on many of the ready-made and high energy consuming products and learning how to rely on your own resources and skills. While you might not have much space to work with, you can still learn to be resourceful and work with what you do have.
