Land
Soil, water, biodiversity, fertility, grazing, plant communities, and resilience are connected. Permaculture design and regenerative agriculture offer useful ways to think across those relationships without pretending one doctrine fits every piece of land.
People
The same word can be useful for human systems. A good practice should not merely avoid exhausting people. It should help produce skill, agency, confidence, connection, health, and purpose.
Joy
A technically elegant system that is joyless has missed something important. The food should taste good. The animals should be enjoyable. The landscape should invite a walk. People should laugh. There should be music somewhere.
