Self-Sufficiency: How to get Started
Under the weight of increasing prices - fuel, food, energy for example, many people are now considering what they can do to ease the burden. The answer is: Many things! From growing your own fruit and vegetables to sourcing alternative forms of energy, a more self-sufficient, healthy and affordable lifestyle is just a bit of interesting study away!

In 100 hours each, learn how to grow:
Vegetables
Fruit (in a temperate climate)
Fruit (in a warm climate)
Berries
Nuts
Nuts (in a warm climate)
Mushrooms
Grapes for Viticulture
Herbs (basic course)
Herbs (culture)

Herbs (culinary)

Or, learn much more about a self-sufficient lifestyle:

Alternative Energy, Carpentry, Healthy Buildings I, Healthy Buildings II, Mud Brick Construction

Any of the above can also be put together to create your own self-designed certificate or diploma. (Choices must be approved by a tutor to make sure the courses are a good 'fit').
