The settlers in Jamestown faced severe food shortages due to a combination of factors, including a lack of agricultural knowledge, poor planning, and harsh environmental conditions. Many colonists prioritized search for gold over farming, leading to insufficient food production. Additionally, conflicts with Indigenous peoples disrupted trade and access to local resources. By the winter of 1609-1610, known as the "Starving Time," these issues culminated in extreme hunger and desperation among the settlers.
