Basically it is exploiting a resource while making sure that you are not killing it off. Of course this applies to renewable resources like fish or trees... not things like fossil fuel where there is a limited amount.
For example, you want to exploit fish in a pond. You must make sure that you catch fish in the correct quantity and size so that those left can reproduce and thereby providing you with many catches in years to come.
Similarly, some logging companies replace every tree they cut with a sapling, so in a few years they can go back and log the same plot again.
This type of policy generally takes a long term view of things, rather than simply immediate profit maximisation.

Don't be fooled by the innocent sounding name of "Sustainable Development." Its impact on you will be profound and radical.
Sustainable development is part of the United Nations Agenda 21 initiative. It basically states that all living entities are equal. Humans are no higher than any other living entity.
People will be subjected to limitation on water consumption, CO2 creation, etc.
Property ownership rights will cease to exist and people will be located in settlements. There will be restricted wildlife zones and buffer zones off-limits to man. Perform an image search for the US "Wildlands Project" to see an official UN map of North America and the various zones.
Sustainable Development will be a tight control on human activity and will limit freedom.
I know this sounds like conspiracy paranoia, but if you research it, you'll be stunned to see what is really planned.
Here are some great places to start research. You really need to look into this stuff:

A great PDF file that introduces Sustainable Development is here:

Here's some info from Joan Veon, an expert on the UN & Sustainable Development:

sustainable development is an economic development without polluting the environment
eg, monitoring the amount and size of fish caught from sea in order to leave enough behing 4 reproduction, therefore allowing more fish to be caught next year.
simple! hope that helps
