Abstract
The aim of this paper is to investigate the meaning of the concept of 'Sustainable Development', which is increasingly present in international agendas, in the management of European policies, in plans to promote agriculture, industry, in the creation of new products, etc. The aim is to offer a more global and holistic vision of this terminology, without discarding criticism, taking into account both its different meanings and its evolution in recent decades. Moving on to the conclusions, the aim is to point out that erroneous or biased use can affect the understanding of the term by different social sectors and, therefore, lead to less coherent and more fragmented actions in relation to sustainability. Hence, knowledge of such a key expression as this - together with education and awareness-raising in sustainability - is decisive in order to adequately channel the socio-economic changes and processes that are forging the future.
