Strategy for the Sustainability of a Food Production System for the Prosperity of Low-Income Populations in an Emerging Country: Twenty Years of Experience of the Peruvian Poultry Association
Sustainability, 2018Co-Authors: Alejandro Fontana, Ignacio De Los Ríos Carmenado, Johan Villanueva-penedo, José Ulloa-salazar, Denisse Santander-peraltaAbstract:This research shows a business initiative that has been able to integrate into an environmentally sustainable food production system, such as poultry farming, a positive impact on food security and public health patterns of low-income populations in an emerging country. For a process that took 20 years, the adopted strategy has become a positive experience of sustainability and Prosperity in low-income populations in Peru. The objective of the research is to conceptualize and identify the key elements of this experience so that its replication in other food production systems to impact favorably the Prosperity of such vulnerable population. The Working With People (WWP) model, a validated methodology for analyzing the sustainability and Prosperity of rural areas in Europe, is used for the analysis of this experience. The analysis shows that the presence of the three dimensions of this model (political-contextual, technical-business, and ethical-social) ensure the sustainability of a food production system that has an impact on the Prosperity of low-income populations in emerging countries. This balance is important to enrich the connections between sustainability and Prosperity, with other concepts such as core values in companies, public-private cooperation, food safety, inclusion and consumption patterns.

Morisita’s Prosperity index revisited
Biodiversity and Conservation, 2015Co-Authors: Yoshitake TakadaAbstract:In order to develop a composite measure of community species diversity and abundance, a generalization of Morisita’s Prosperity index is proposed. Using Hill’s diversity representation, the Prosperity index is a product of the total number of individuals and the effective number of species in a community. A series of Prosperity indices can be derived using a parameter (Hill’s number). As an analogy of component partitions of species diversity, regional, within, and between components are also defined. The Prosperity index will be useful for practical aspects related to conservation and management.

Inequality and Poverty as a Motor for Growth and Prosperity
Journal of Contemporary European Studies, 2008Co-Authors: Dieter EisselAbstract:This contribution considers a number of hypotheses based on economic arguments which, on the one hand, can be related to inequality and poverty and, on the other, to growth and Prosperity. In principle one can discern two opposing positions among theorists: one hypothesis proposes that Prosperity and growth are the result of inequality and poverty. Accordingly, human beings must be poor in order to exert themselves and thus contribute to growth in the society they live in. The drive towards general Prosperity is seen as the result of inequality. It is assumed that the poor, seeing the standard of living of the rich which they want to emulate, will exert themselves and thus will contribute to the general development of social Prosperity; the rich will invest profitably in jobs and thus will create the preconditions for the (unintended) well-being of the poorer members of society. In contrast, there are those who see a connection between inequality and both an insufficient willingness/ability to achieve and...

Charting African Prosperity Gospel economies
HTS Teologiese Studies Theological Studies, 2016Co-Authors: Andreas HeuserAbstract:This article maps the vital debate on Prosperity Gospel in Africa and its relevance for socioeconomic change. Prosperity Gospel centres mainly on speech acts surrounding faith, wealth and victory, combined with ritual enactments around secondary evidences of divine blessings. Claiming this-worldly success and material well-being as signs of grace it has captured public spheres and has created African religio-scapes of Prosperity. The survey on the socioeconomics of African Prosperity-oriented Pentecostalism firstly traces the historic genealogy of Prosperity Gospel as transposable message. It appears as a generic formula in paradigmatic reinventions of Pentecostalism in post-second and/or cold war America and in its globalisation in postcolonial Africa. The double resignification of Pentecostal theology - a rereading of ‘mammon’ alongside a new ethic of being in the world - relates to the question of socioeconomic agency. Academic discourse connects Prosperity Gospel social capital with interpretations of its ritual texture thriving around rituals of tithings and offerings. Prosperity Gospel economies are profiled as forms of sacral consumption or sacrificial economy, or else as Pentecostal kleptocracy. Contrarily Prosperity Gospel is portrayed as a variant and porter of African social change. The contextualisation of Prosperity Gospel highlights diverse social agency in different milieus. Rural and peri-urban theologies of survival differ from urban progressive and metropolitan business management Prosperity Gospel. The findings defy generalised views on Prosperity Gospel socioeconomics. African Prosperity Gospel indicates a transformative potential in immediate social relationships, whereas claims of impacting structural parameters of society remain, with a few exceptions, part of Pentecostal imagination.This article forms part of the special collection on ‘Engaging development: Contributions to a critical theological and religious debate’ in HTS Teologiese Studies/Theological Studies Volume 72, Issue 4, 2016.http://www.hts.org.zaam2017Science of Religion and Missiolog
