Via Michael Haupt:

- The principle of Bioregional Sovereignty asserts that individuals living within a bioregion collectively have rights to sustenance without external interference or harm (https://coda.io/@sog/state-of-grace/the-guiding-principles-54).

This concept extends traditional notions of sovereignty to encompass five fundamental areas:

1. Water sovereignty through alternative management approaches

2. Food sovereignty through locally appropriate production methods

3. Shelter sovereignty through sustainable housing

4. Energy sovereignty through alternative local production

5. Cultural sovereignty through shared narratives and purpose[4](https://coda.io/@sog/state-of-grace/the-guiding-principles-54)
