Famine
A widespread scarcity of food due to war, inflation, crop failure etc.
Real World Example
Famine played a significant role in Egyptian Civilization, notably during the end of the Old Kingdom when crop failures led to social unrest and the collapse of centralized power. It highlighted the importance of resource management and the vulnerability of societies dependent on agriculture, ideas still relevant today as we face climate change and food security issues. Lessons from these historical famines remind us of the importance of sustainable farming and innovation in agriculture to prevent food shortages. For people today, this means appreciating the food supply chain and supporting practices that ensure food is available to everyone. On a daily level, it encourages individuals to reduce food waste and support local farmers, contributing to a more resilient food system.
