Rights of Nature Legal Frameworks
Legal recognition of ecosystems as entities with rights, impacting land use.
Emerging legal frameworks that grant personhood or specific rights to ecosystems (rivers, soil systems, forests). For agriculture, this shifts the regulatory baseline from 'resource management' to 'co-existence', potentially mandating regenerative practices not just for yield, but as a legal obligation to the land itself.
