Sustainable Living and the Self Sufficiency Lifestyle
This sustainable living site differs from other websites on self sufficiency because here weshare our real-life experience – from the research that’s inspired us, to the hands-on Permaculture techniques we are using to achieve it on our small farm in Western Australia.
hSustainable living is defined as...
.."a lifestyle that can be sustained without exhausting natural resources…"
- That is: living simply and efficiently, and making everything we do use go as far as possible and achieve as much for us as possible!
- Self sufficiency - providing much of your own needs – is an important strategy to achieve this.
- It is sobering to realize that self sufficiency and sustainable living are necessities of life for 80% of the world’s people. By comparison even the poorest of us in western societies would be considered very wealthy indeed.
- And our ecological footprint (impact on the planet) is 8 to 12 times
- that of people in developing nations.
But are we any happier?
|
|
- The happiness research I’ve been poring through strongly indicates that we are not!
- This may explain why materially well-endowed westerners are turning their backs on conspicuous consumption in droves.
- In fact, it's emerging as a mega-trend in Western societies. There are many names for it – downshifting, eco-frugalism, voluntary simplicity… At the core is the desire to live a simpler life, achieving authentic happiness while using fewer resources.
- Whatever is behind your quest for sustainable living it is a valuable journey that can achieve many things:
• Sustainable Health:
Good health is a prerequisite to personal sustainability. Your pathway to good health starts with adequate nutrition, something that modern foods just CAN'T deliver.
• Environmentally responsible living:
Over-consumption is the root cause of all our environmental problems. Everything we use and then dispose of inflates our ecological footprint burden on the planet. Green consumption and simple living is the only authentic solution. environment and lifestyle sustainability
•Time to live:
Many of us are caught in the wheel of the rat-race to support our addiction to conspicuous consumption and maintain the illusion of material prosperity. Simple living offers an escape from the live-to-work trap, freeing time for the things that matter.

• Financial freedom:
It’s simple really - the less you need, the further what you have will go. And establishing a modest income from a low-key business working at home can keep you going indefinitely…
• Future shock security:
Many global trends are gathering momentum – for example, looming climate change, peak oil, and financial meltdown. All significantly threaten western living standards. Learning to live more with less is a logical preparation strategy.
Our sustainable living goals encompass all of these. Agritourism (reconnecting with the local food supply) is a good place to start, progressing to becoming more personally self sufficient. And, like other families downshifting to sustainable living we’re taking the opportunity to teach our children about sustainability and self sufficiency skills.introducing concept sustainability children
In sharing our journey with you…
…we hope to inspire and inform, while creating what we hope will be one of the best websites on self sufficiency lifestyle around. recycling and lifestyle and sustainability

HOW WE FOUND THE BEST HOME BASED INCOME OPPORTUNITIES
First we had to re search home based business opportunities. The task was daunting.
So when sorting small business ideas for farm living, we used a few criteria to sift out the best home based income opportunities:
• Location - The success of the business must NOT depend highly on where you live.
• Time - The business shouldn’t take up too much time.
• Setup Cost - It had to be an affordable home based business opportunity – we’re not made of money! And low start up costs also means low risk.
• Profit - Of course, we were after the most profitable small business ideas for farm living.
• Fun - It must be satisfying and meaningful.
• Autonomy - As a couple we wanted separate enterprises (healthier for our relationship and sanity than spending 24/7 working together) so needed to find the best home business for woman and the best for man.
HOW DID WE GO?
After considerable background work, some false starts, a lot of trial and error and tremendous tenacity we have finally succeeded!
Sorry, these are not “get rich quick” schemes… just real, solid, proven enterprises that actually deliver on all the criteria we set for them.
With the reliable cash flow from our proven best home based income opportunities, our dream of country living is now a reality. We are free!

- Rather than buying expensive pharmaceutical medicines, it is not only cheaper but also more satisfying to instead reach for free home remedies readily available from your garden or kitchen pantry.
- Another factor fueling burgeoning interest in medical home remedies, is increasing dissatisfaction and suspicion concerning prescription and over-the-counter modern medicines.
- Lobbying by powerful drug companies has spurred continual media attacks aimed at discrediting the value of natural remedies, as well as being behind emerging laws that limit our access to them.

- Home health remedies allow you to reclaim your right to take responsibility for your own health, using preparations that are safe, simple and highly effective.
- Many of them are old home remedies that have been proven over generations.
- Others – such colloidal silver – were actively promoted and utilized by governments before the emergence of modern alternatives and their “big pharma” lobbyists.
- And still others – such as diatomaceous earth – have only recently been recognized for their amazing versatility and application to dozens of homestead health issues.
The home health remedies we feature here are made with all natural ingredients. They are also easy and cheap to create, and work safely and holistically to restore and support your natural immune system.

That changed at the end of WWII when war chemicals (e.g. ammonium nitrate for bombs) manufacturers turned to farming as a new market for their products. Modern chemical farming was born, marketed as the “green revolution” that promised to feed the world.
So How IS Organic Farming Different?:
• It doesn’t use synthetic chemicals.
Modern agriculture relies on a range of synthetic chemicals. Crop nutrients are in the form of soluble manufactured fertilizers, which produce weak plants needing protection with chemical herbicides, fungicides and pesticides.
Similarly, animal health in industrialized agriculture relies on chemical pharmaceuticals (e.g. anthelmintics for parasites, pesticides for lice) whereas in organic farming only preparations derived from natural sources are allowed.
Organic farming instead encourages and makes use of natural biological processes – particularly microbial activity – to boost soil fertility and thus plant nutrition, "feeding the soil to feed the plant".
Organic methods offer many benefits to humans and the environment,because chemicals are shunned. Healthy balanced soil grows naturally healthier plants and promotes health in the people and livestock that feed on them.
• A diverse range of crops are grown.
To remain profitable in the face of globalized markets and free trade, farmers have been forced to bigger holdings with simpler cropping systems. Keeping pace, industrialized farming has evolved ever-larger and more specialized machines to do the work of cultivation, sowing, spraying and harvesting. The result is large areas of the same crop type; this is called a monoculture.
Organic farming, on the other hand, embraces a multiple crop philosophy – polyculture. As in nature, such biodiversity adds resiliency and productivity to the system. A wide variety of crops in turn support a wider range of beneficial insects, soil microorganisms, and other factors that contribute to overall farm health.
However, the resulting system is more labor intensive, requiring greater management expertise and observation, all of which nevertheless can be learnt!
