Today's show is about optimizing the things that are universal to all homesteads, no matter where you are on this planet. These 4 universal homestead productivity leverage points are Light, Water, Soil and Life.

• Light = Energy Flow - How Much Sunlight Your Landscape Captures And Turns Into Usable Biomass
• Water = Water Cycle - The Circulation of Earth's Lifeblood
• Soil = Mineral Cycle - The Circulation of Life-Sustaining Nutrients
• Life = Community Dynamics - The Living Organisms That Leverage Your Light, Water And Soil to Produce Value

No matter where you are, or what scale you are working at, you can work with these four things to increase the productive capacity of your landscape. We'll talk about how to adjust your thinking and seeing to each of these perspectives, the principles that govern good management within them, and some simple action steps and rules of thumb for taking action to improve your homestead's function.
