-==Preparing food==
-Food can be prepared in many ways, such as [[boil]]ing, frying, baking, or left raw. It can also be prepared in ways the prolong its [[storage life]].
-*'''[[Canning]]''' a very effective form of long-term storage of perishable food. If you have a [[Plant cultivation|garden]] or other source of fresh food that you want to preserve for long periods of time canning is perhaps the best option at home and requires no special equipment or supplies other than jars, lids, a canner (pressure or water bath depending upon the food) and cooking utensils.
-*'''[[Food dehydration|Dehydrating food]]''' is an excellent way to preserve fresh food or to prepare it for further preservation such as [[vacuum storage]] or other dry food storage.
-*'''[[Pickling]]''' is a very old method of preserving food that can be used for far more than [[cucumber]]s.
-*'''[[Vacuum storage]]''' is a very quick modern method of preserving food for storage. It is generally much easier to do than other methods, but does require special equipment, supplies, and access to [[electricity]]. Vacuum sealing does not negate the need for refrigeration, freezing, or some other form of storage, but it usually improves the effectiveness of those forms of storage.
-==Storing food==
-Storing food is a major component of [[preparedness]], understanding how and why to do it can improve or save lives. Learning recipes you enjoy is a good way to improve your life if times get tough, or even if they don't.
-* '''[[Dry food storage]]''' is important, because most [[staple]] [[goods]] are dry such as [[rice]], [[wheat]], [[corn]]. [[barley]], [[millet]], [[pasta]], etc. Also, once fresh foods have been dehydrated they are stored the same way.
-* '''[[Root cellar]]s''' are buried structures that create a natural cold storage environment ideal for extending the life of [[fruit]]s and [[vegetable]]s when modern [[refrigeration]] is unavailable.
-* '''[[Canning]]''' is a versatile method for preserving many types of foods.
