Food self-provisioning

Food self-provisioning (FSP) is the growing of one's own food, especially fruits and vegetables. Also labelled as household food production, is a traditional activity persisting in the countries of the Global North. It is studied in Sustainability science[1][2] and in ecofeminism[3] on reason of its social, health and environmental outcomes.
