Emelia Hazelip uses of the term synergistic agriculture which she (or someone) has defined at length.
Index of /ecolandtech/souscayrous/EmiliaHazelip-SynergisticAgriculture (mostly in French, lots of plans and annotated drawings)

Buckminster Fuller referred often to synergy

all these words and terms can, if used in the context of permaculture as an umbrella discipline, be extreme;y useful

symbiculture
ecolandtech
synergistic, sustainable, regenerative, biological, ecological, biointensive, biorganic, beyondorganic, restoration, preservation agriculture

seems to me that people will want to think of an umbrella discipline as an easy starting point, such as permaculture or one or more alternate or companion terms : synergistic and symbiotic terminology
synerbioculture

From a thread at permies:
"i seldom use the word permaculture when talking to people because it
can seem like another " gimicky thing" someone is trying to sell."
LL:
I use it all the time even to people I know have never heard of it. I
ignore negative reactions while hoping for curiosity and interest in
learning more leading to their becoming lifetime devotees and
practitioners.

Someone suggested the term gaiaculture as an alternate to permaculture:

Gaia Stable - utilizing EcoLandTech - ecology-driven land use technology
- portal to an expanding global network of landtech pioneers -

gaiaculture

Public awareness of The Gaia concept is becoming increasingly important,
and in a big way. If they will just understand that the Earth functions
as a single living organism
and that humankind's survival on our planet requires that the concept
remain in the forefront of our minds daily, affecting decisions we make
toward ours and others' survival and
well being.
