Abstract

Everything happens for a reason. For a global crisis, which is famine, this saying is fairly accurate. Yet, famine happens not only for a reason but for complex reasons. Aside from its characteristically intricate origins, the consequences of famine are also multifaceted. Likewise, the definition of the term "famine" is not that easy to grasp as it may seem. The common perception of famine is a condition in which there is an extremely scarce supply of food. Consequently, because of inadequate food availability and consumption, there is also an abrupt decline in the level of food consumption of a particular large population. Starvation proceeds then because people are continuously subsisting without sufficient food supply and this condition worsens when famine is under sway; similarly, mortality rate is high due to unprecedented incidences of starvation. However, famine is not only attributable to an extreme and prolonged shortage of food but it also underlines economic, political and social trends that can transpire when food supplies are adequate to avert its emergence.
