“…For example, some argue that dominant economics production theory, e.g. the Cobb-Douglas production function, is developed and applied in isolation from its surrounding and contextual factors on which it is dependent (Daly, 1996;O'Hara, 1997). Natural resources or land rarely enter the production theory and wastes and emissions are non-existent.…”

“…Indeed, a growing number of researchers are making this argument, e.g. in the fields of evolutionary economics, ecological economics or within the feminist critique of the economics paradigm (see Brennan, 1997;O'Hara, 1997). Therefore, if metaphors are not absolute or strict, it is arguable that the basic metaphor or paradigm of economics may benefit if aspects outside the neoclassical tradition are also included in it.…”

For many centuries, industrial societies in the Western modernity have been driven by a dominant social paradigm (DSP). It is argued in this paper that this paradigm has some serious difficulties in the light of the development of the field of corporate social responsibility and in the light of its practice. Therefore, a new paradigmatic foundation is required for corporate social responsibility. The dominant social paradigm is contrasted with metaphors and principles that are derived from sources that are outside the paradigmatic basis of Western modernity, and outside the paradigm of neoclassical economics. These new metaphors and principles may be suitable for further development of the corporate social responsibility paradigm as well as for reconsideration of the economics paradigm.

“…In 2013, CAUSES adopted its tagline Healthy Cities -Healthy People to affirm its capacity building mission as inextricably linked to improving the environmental/physical condition and the social/cultural condition of the urban community it serves. The commitment to improve quality of life and economic opportunity must therefore be understood as a commitment to improve not only economic outcomes, but also the social/cultural and physical/environmental context within which every economic activity takes place (O'Hara, 1995(O'Hara, , 1997.…”

Access to affordable fresh food is an ongoing challenge for underserved urban neighborhoods across the United States. Several are designated food deserts with no access to a full-service grocery store within a one-mile radius. The Urban Food Hubs of the College of Agriculture, Urban Sustainability, and Environmental Sciences (CAUSES) of the University of the District of Columbia (UDC) exemplify the University's commitment to building capacity in the food desert neighborhoods of Washington D.C. The four components of the Urban Food Hubs are food production, food preparation, food distribution, and waste and water recovery (http://www.udc.edu/category/causes). They are designed to not only provide access to fresh food, but also to create jobs, improve public health, mitigate water management problems, and create urban resiliency. The contributions in economic, social/cultural, and physical/environmental impacts, and the five pillars of economic development that track the broader impacts of urban capacity building are described here. The Urban Food Hubs demonstrate the investment metropolitan universities could make to ensure the long-term economic, social, and environmental health of each community. The model is scalable and replicable in other metropolitan areas, including those that experience high pressure on land-use and those experiencing decline.

“…In addition to ecologically sustaining functions, socially sustaining functions must also be maintained. These include the restorative, caretaking, nurturing, and stress relieving functions of households and communities [63,64]. This can be operationalized with the concept of social resilience, which is achieved when ''social change occurs in ways that preserve justice and equity among stakeholders'' [65, p. 177].…”
