Preferred term

resource collapse  

Definition(s)

  • A resource collapse occurs when a particular resource, whether it be a food source that is plant or animal, or a material needed to carry out the normal functions of civilization, is no longer available, or is not available in the quantities needed. Oil has been a topic of discussion in the last decades, with the concern that the time of peak oil—when oil can be obtained easily for a reasonable price—is over.
