Abstract: Abstract In the previous chapter, a case study on modelling and policy implication of hilsa fish population in Bangladesh has been presented. This chapter presents modelling of food security in Malaysia as a case study and application of system dynamics. The model is organised as (1) introduction, (2) dynamic hypothesis, (3) causal loop diagram, (4) stock–flow diagram, (5) model validation, (6) simulation and policy analysis and (7) conclusion. The findings suggest that gradual transition to bio-fertiliser, funding for R&D for development of high-yielding hybrid rice and increasing the cropping intensity hold big promise towards productivity enhancement. The promotion training and extension services using participatory approach of learning by doing or the farmer field schools are desirable to reduce the productivity gap.
