self-production
Creating your own
Self-production is the act of creating or manufacturing something by oneself, without outside assistance or intermediaries.
A band might handle self-production of their album rather than hiring a studio producer.
In philosophy and biology, self-production describes systems that generate and maintain themselves—a cell produces the components necessary for its own existence.
