Dear colleagues,

SD work related to food security in general but preferably in Developing
Countries.

thanks

At an OR conference held recently in Burkina Faso, a least 1 paper was presented
on this topic. Currently I am trying to get its URL. Once I have it, I'll
forward it to you.

I would like to know more about what you are doing in this area as I'm working
in Zambia with a small group who are trying to set up sustainable food
production. I'm trying to model the underlying relationships.

Regards..
