What level of self sufficiency is there in an eco village?
A commonly used figure is about 40%. That is, people who live in eco villages can expect to meet about 40% of all of their basic needs within or near the village: food, energy, livelihood, clothing, recreation, leisure and social activities, education, etc. Of course, some will use the village for meeting many more of their needs while others will meet more of their needs outside of the village.
