Expert Solution
Step 1

Homesteading is a situation when a person does not want to use money and thus, use barter system for everything they need. Barter system is a system in which a person exchanges a good or service for another good or service rather than paying for it in monetary terms. For example : If A needs rice and B needs Pulses, A and B will exchange pulses with rice respectively. In this way, no monetary values are exchanged, only the commodity is exchanged. 

According to the question given above, the person is new to homesteading and he/she chose this situation due to the outbreak of the Covid pandemic and not being able to purchase the minimal goods and services for the family.
