Abstract
The term ‘carrying capacity’ (CC) is the source of much confusion. This chapter will hopefully clarify some of the issues surrounding the distinctions between economic and ecological carrying capacity, making the implications for the policy debate clearer.
This chapter is based on a seminar paper delivered at the University of Zimbabwe and an Overseas Development Institute Pastoral Development Network Paper (Scoones, 1989a).
