Abstract

I met Hans Linnemann in September 1975 at the Global Modelling conference at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), where he and his team presented MOIRA. I remember being very impressed by the theoretical rigour of that model and also being uneasy with the one-commodity — consumable protein — description of the agriculture sector. Little did I know that I was to spend the following ten years building a more elaborate global model in the spirit of MOIRA and addressing issues of deep concern to Hans Linnemann: hunger and poverty. This article is, therefore, both an acknowledgement of my debt to him and an offering to his scholarship and concern.
