In October 2008, it is 40 years ago that C.T. (Kees) de Wit presented his inaugural address (Theory and Model) at Wageningen University, as Professor of Theoretical Production Ecology. Although it is 15 years since he passed away, his mark on Wageningen University and abroad is still present, through the C.T. de Wit Graduate School for Production Ecology and Resource Conservation and through the many PhD’s that graduated under his leadership and the many PhD’s that graduated under the leadership of his successor(s).
This year, therefore, is an appropriate moment to reflect on 40 years Theory and Model at Wageningen University and to take stock of the developments during the last 15 years and what may be expected in the future.
