Why did population rise before the famine?
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.
