This poster is promoting rationing during World War II. It emphasizes the importance of growing and canning your own food in order to ensure that there will be enough to eat during the winter. This was a common message during the war as resources were scarce and food shortages were a concern. The focus on self-sufficiency and conservation of resources is a key theme in this propaganda poster.
