'A livelihood comprises people, their capabilities and their means of living, including food, income and assets. Tangible assets are resources and stores, and intangible assets are claims and access.
A livelihood is environmentally sustainable when it maintains or enhances the local and global assets in which livelihoods depend, and has net beneficial effects on other livelihoods. A livelihood is socially sustainable which can cope with and recover from stress and shocks, and provide for future generations in his own capacity.

Very good Ibrahym!
My definition for a sustainable livelihood is any activity which (at least) restores as much resources to the Earth as it uses.

I mean how do you define "sustainable livelihood"?
I see 'sustainable livelihood' is a dynamic condition where people could survive with sufficient needs at whatever, whenever, and wherever situation.
what do you mind?

Yes I agree it depends on condition. May be different peopl having different occupation view sustainable livelihood in different way that what we academic society define.

dear all,
sustainable livelihood has problems with it as it can mean " the ability to meet the present livelihood status without compromising with the ability of the future generation to do the same"- not vey original
but what can be the alternate to it?
"sustainable lifestyle?"- which means reduction of the economic and ecological footprint to the optimum level. reducing wastage to the maximum possible limit, recycling and more important, internalising the attitude and habit of judicious use of resources, managing them, avoiding pollution of every kind AND inculcating in our friends , children the the virtue of "responsible living and lifestyle".

Ya I agree your concept of sustainable lifestyle. But does it apply to those poor people who are not getting minimmum? It would be better to use the term sustainable lifestyle in developed place i.e. who have sufficient and Sustainable Livelihood for them who are struggling for minimmum.

dear friend,
i agree with your view point which reflects the question of equity across the global community BUT i would also add a condition to my statement (which i assumed to be given, anyhow). this condition is that of "context"..it would not be very wise to compare the bare minimum need of US citizens and that of the Somalians.....but if your definition of of bare minimum is that of food clothing and shelter, then your argument holds water...moreover, sustainale lifestyle also is about judicious use of available resources and an attitude to minimise the inequality gap! ( please do enrich this dialogue process through your valuable insights)
regards,
rohit.

I do agree that minimum we are talking about developed and developing nations is not comparable. Definitely minimum indicates the basic human needs but it doesn´t mean that he has to limit in that minimum but also have right on his per capita resource. I think per capita concpet makes all equal although it is not practical. What we need to discuss is our ecological footprint. cheers

hi,
there you are!! ecological footprint...i think if all of us try to minimise our ecologicl footprint, by consuming only what is needed( no ambiguity in the term pal!) and ensure that the resource that gets generated in the process is equitabl y distributed among the economically marginalised sections of the global community, then i would definitely say that we are a step closer to sustainablel ifestyle!! being responsible to the environment and not abusing its carrying capacity would not be an understatement!!
nice sharing thoughts with you!!
cheers to you to!
rohit.
