Abstaining from economic self-sufficiency

Doing without adequate economic self-sufficiency

Description

Abstaining from economic self-sufficiency involves deliberately relying on external sources for goods, services, or resources rather than producing them independently. This strategy aims to optimize efficiency, reduce costs, and access specialized expertise or products unavailable locally. By fostering interdependence, it can remedy issues of resource scarcity, limited local capacity, or high production costs, enabling communities or organizations to focus on core competencies while benefiting from broader economic networks.
