Preferred term

sustainability  

Definition(s)

  • Sustainability, whose etymological roots are Anglo-Norman and Latin, implies a state that is maintainable, supportable, or bearable. In the abstract, its place in anthropology is as ancient as those swayed by Thomas Malthus and others contemplating the impact of the nexus of population, economics, and resource use on carrying capacity: the impact of human beings on the environment. [Source: Theory in Social and Cultural Anthropology: An Encyclopedia; Sustainability]
