One may go as far as saying that if you live in an urban environment and are participating in any scale of vegetable or herb gardening, you’re by default participating in urban homesteading. Others may not be so generous. I, however, fall into the former category- everyone has to start somewhere!
Urban homesteading, sometimes classified as urban agriculture, is the practice of growing and producing a significant portion of the food you eat, keeping livestock, harvesting rainwater and other various forms of sustainable living in an urban or semi-urban environment.
