Bioregionalism: an ecological and cultural approach to land use and community development that is based on the idea that geographical regions, defined by natural features such as watersheds, ecosystems, and climate patterns, provide the basis for sustainable and self-reliant communities. It recognizes that local ecosystems have unique characteristics and resources that can support local economies, cultures, and lifestyles. Bioregionalism emphasizes the importance of developing sustainable and self-sufficient communities, where residents live in harmony with their natural surroundings and use local resources to meet their needs. This includes practices such as sustainable agriculture, renewable energy, and local governance, and emphasizes the importance of community-based decision making and direct democracy. The goal of bioregionalism is to create decentralized, resilient communities that are integrated into their natural environment and can provide for their own needs in a sustainable way.
Deep Ecology: an ecological philosophy that recognizes the intrinsic value of all living beings and ecosystems, independent of their usefulness to humans. It critiques the dominant anthropocentric (human-centered) worldview and argues that humans are a part of, rather than separate from, the natural world. Deep ecology recognizes that humans are dependent on the biosphere for their survival, and that current ecological problems such as climate change, habitat destruction, and extinction of species are the result of human actions that are destroying the delicate balance of nature. The philosophy calls for a radical rethinking of human values and lifestyles, and a transition to a society that is in harmony with the natural world. This includes reducing human population and consumption levels, and rejecting consumerism and industrialization in favor of more sustainable, decentralized, and ecologically-oriented practices.

Eco-Anarchism: a branch of anarchism that focuses on environmental issues and advocates for the abolition of centralized systems of power in order to achieve ecological sustainability. It seeks to address the intersection of environmental degradation, social oppression, and political domination, and argues that these problems can only be resolved through the creation of decentralized, non-hierarchical communities based on direct democracy, mutual aid, and cooperation. Eco-anarchists believe that the current ecological crisis is a result of the actions of state and capitalist structures, and that only a radical restructuring of society can bring about meaningful change.

It encompasses not only food production, but also shelter, energy, and community development. Permaculture design principles focus on creating relationships between elements in a system, such as plants, animals, and humans, to produce a self-sustaining and regenerative environment. This includes practices such as agroforestry, intercropping, rainwater harvesting, and recycling of waste. The goal of permaculture is to create resilient and abundant human settlements that work in harmony with the natural world.
