If I understand you correctly, that's the point of this approach to legislation: that it provides a holistic approach enshrined in law. It's not prescriptive, but it provides a legal framework within which government can do its business, to reflect the fact that in reality we are embedded in nature and our economy is embedded in nature. But we don't have the legal framework to recognize that and help guide government decision-making to ensure that this fact is respected.
