<br/><br/> This study aims at exploring strategies for attaining food  adequacy in Vietnam which has limited cultivable land and a  growing population. The impact of t h e various agricultural land  management policies is examined and the dynamics resulting from  these is illustrated . A System Dynamics computer simulation  model has been constructed to analyze the interactions between  ecological resources and food production practices. The model  provides a detailed, integrated framework for understanding the  past behavior of the food production system. Experimentation with  this model attempts to identify appropriate policies concerning  land use management and population control for food self- sufficiency to be achieved in the long run, without ecological  destruction.
