WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST RISKS OF NOT HAVING WELL-STOCKED FOOD SUPPLY IN YOUR HOME?


  • Food Insecurity: Without a well-stocked food supply, you and your family may not have access to nutritious and healthy food, which can lead to food insecurity and malnutrition.

  • Lack of Meal Planning and Preparation: When you don't have enough food in your home, meal planning and preparation can be difficult, which can lead to eating out more or relying on unhealthy, processed foods.

  • Financial Burden: When you don't have a well-stocked food supply, you may need to spend more money on food and eating out, putting a strain on your finances.

  • Increased Vulnerability in Emergencies: In the case of natural disasters or other emergencies, having a well-stocked food supply can provide peace of mind and help you and your family weather the storm.

  • Decreased Mental and Physical Health: When you don't have access to nutritious food, your mental and physical health can suffer, leading to an increased risk of chronic diseases, obesity, and other health problems.

BECOME SELF-RELIANT

Self-sustainability plays a significant role in home canning as it allows individuals to become more self-sufficient and reduce their dependence on outside sources for food. Pressure Canning provides a way for people to preserve and store their own food, reducing the need to purchase canned goods from grocery stores.

By growing their own fruits and vegetables or purchasing them in bulk when they are in season, people can save money and control the quality of the food they eat. Canning also allows them to preserve surplus produce and reduce food waste, helping to conserve resources and minimize their environmental impact.

Learning the steps to safely pressure can food in jars is a step towards self-sustainability as it provides individuals with greater control over their food supply, reduces their dependence on outside sources, and helps them to conserve resources and reduce waste.
