There is no way supply and demand affect disasters, they are natural things in nature while supply and demand are economic processes. Disasters can easily decrease the supply of something, which increases the price on that good.
People attempt to hoard goods, reducing supply and increasing demand. The price therefore increases.
The price of food and beverages responds to the basic principles of economics; as Adam Smith pointed out a long time ago, prices depend on two things, supply and demand.
Prices generally are the result of the combined effect of supply and demand. Scarcity causes prices to rise, since there is more competition to obtain scarce items, and demand causes prices to rise, since people will be willing to pay more for something they strongly want.
Price is no determinate on demand when it comes to food being needed to feed the famine-stricken; it is likewise no determinate of supply when an overabundance of rainfall causes flooding and destruction regardless of water needs.
Because intensive farming produces higher yeild, which means cheaper food, thus meeting supply and demand
People attempt to hoard goods, reducing supply and increasing demand. The price therefore increases.
The cost of all food is variable, depending on supply and demand.
Perhaps you are referring to "food lines". They happen when demand for food outstrips the food supply. These can happen in preparation for a pending disaster - such as a hurricane - or as an after-effect of a disaster. Buying limits might be imposed in those situations to prevent hoarding and is referred to as "rationing".

According to the free market, when the disaster hits, there is a disruption in supply and demand and thus, the equilibrium price increases: market is cleared and there is no excess in demand or supply. However, the negative side of this is that there would be poverty for people who can't afford this new price.
Yes there is a very stable demand for agri supply. As the population increases more food is needed and more supplies in which too make the food.
If you have an overpopulated area the demand of food skyrockets and then the prices will rise and the supply of food will slowly disintegrate.
The price of goods can go up after a natural disaster due to increased demand for essential items like food, water, and building supplies, coupled with disrupted supply chains and decreased production capacity in the affected areas. This creates scarcity, leading to higher prices as businesses try to balance supply and demand.
When disasters hit an area the cost of everything seems to go up immediately food ,water, housing, gas. Explain why this phenomenon may be a good thing in the used of supply and demand ?
Food supply acts as a negative feedback on world population once there is scarcity. This happens when demand for food is high but its supply is low.
