How Soil Relates to Collective Wellbeing 

The Integrated Soil Well-being Framework (ISWF), proposed by Claire Friedrichsen, PhD, and collaborators, provides a critical conceptual pathway for achieving collective socio-ecological flourishing. 

This research advocates for an essential transition in soil science—moving beyond traditional economic and environmental metrics to fully incorporate social and systems science. 

This emerging transdisciplinary focus connects soil health directly to Regenerative Vitality. 

The core principle involves elevating the collective capacity to value the emotional connection to soil (soil connectivity), recognize its expansive socio-ecological function (soil capability), and rigorously integrate diverse cultural knowledge and truth-finding methodologies. 

Cultivating robust soil health is thus positioned as a foundational requirement for systemic environmental and societal vitality.
