"la famine" (fem.) is a period of starvation, where people have so little to eat that they would eat anything. A word of the same family is "la faim", which means "hunger". "Famine" is the same word in English.
The answer to this question would come from reasoning and logic. Usually, before a famine, there is an abundance of food and water. This would indicate a good time to raise a family. Then, when the land gets worn out from over-farming or bad farming techniques, a famine follows. Thus, the large family that was started in a time of plenty and abundance, gets thrust into a rough famine. This is the most logical reason. There could, however, be other reasons too. Another idea is that the population just happened to increase before the famine.
