Food Production Development Model

#SelfReliance starts in your home. Instead of going out to eat, learn to cook your own meals. Its cheaper to cook your own meals. Once you learn to cook, start making your meals from scratch. Not only is it cheaper to make food from scratch, but its healthier. After you learn to make food from scratch, start growing your own food. You will save money, your food will be healthier, and you will also have full control over your diet. You can grow foods that you can't buy locally, and you will know exactly the standards your food was grown under. After you become and efficient grower, you can start selling crops. There are lots of people who value buying from local independent growers. With all the money you save, plus the money you make from selling food, you will be able to acquire land. The land will allow you to grow more crops and a wider variety and even build a small but efficient house on your land.

The money made from selling crops and the money saved from building your house will allow you to start hiring employees. Hiring employees will allow you to increase the output of the crops you are farming. It will also give job opportunities to other Black People. The increased output of crops will let you acquire more land. You eventually have enough food to open a grocery store. The grocery store will give you another hiring opportunity. Not only will you have fresh crops, but your cooking skills will allow you to serve meals and baked goods as well. The profits from the grocery store will allow you to branch out into catering. With the catering comes another set of jobs for Afrikan people. The catering jobs will produce the capital needed for a restaurant, as well as creating the demand for it.

So just by the act of not eating out at restaurants any more, you can set it motion a series of events that makes you a Restaurant Owner, that gets their food from the grocery store they own, that has only food they grow themselves. That is the true practice of Pan-Afrikanism, Black Nationalism, and/or Self-Reliance.
