「自分で食べるものは出来る限り自分で生産する意識」は、
the understanding that we should produce as much food as possible by ourselves
でどうでしょうか?
近年、天候不良による野菜の高騰化や劣悪な品質の輸入食品問題等の様々な社会的要因が重なり、自分で食べる食べ物は自分で生産する、自分たちの命を支えている自然の恵みである食べ物やエネルギー、水はどこからきているのかを知る、といった意識が強くなってきています。
Recently, people became highly conscious about what they eat and drink because of the number of social factors like rising vegetable prices, via bad weather; poor import foods. They started considering where the food, water, and energy, which is necessary to support our lives, came from and even think we should produce them by ourselves.
