Broadly defined, homesteading is a lifestyle of simple, agrarian self-sufficiency.

Current practice

As of 2010 the term 'homesteading' may apply to anyone who follows the back-to-the-land movement by adopting a sustainable, self-sufficient lifestyle. While land is no longer freely available in most areas of the world, homesteading remains as a way of life. A new movement, called 'urban homesteading', can be viewed as a simple living lifestyle, incorporating small-scale agriculture, sustainable and permaculture gardening, and home food production and storage into suburban or city living.

Certain activists have attempted to redefine the term based on a few limited successes in New York courts. According to them, homesteading may also refer to the practice of squatting — occupying an abandoned or unoccupied space or building that the squatter does not own, rent or otherwise have permission to use.
