Countries in sub-Saharan Africa, such as South Sudan, Somalia, Nigeria, and Yemen, have experienced significant levels of famine due to a combination of factors like conflict, climate change, and poverty. These regions often face food insecurity and malnutrition, making them more vulnerable to famine compared to other countries.

A name for severe food shortage?

A famine


The Irish famine was more accurately described as a natural disaster or a human made disaster?

The Irish famine, often referred to as the Great Famine of 1845-1852, was primarily a human-made disaster exacerbated by a natural blight that affected the potato crop, which was a staple food for much of the population. While the potato blight was a natural phenomenon, the British government's inadequate response, including export policies and insufficient relief efforts, significantly worsened the crisis. Therefore, it can be argued that the famine was as much a product of human decisions and systemic failures as it was a natural catastrophe.


What were the effects of the potato blight in Ireland?

Initially it destroyed the potato crop. This led to hunger and famine and many people dying or leaving Ireland, severely reducing the population, which still has not reached the same levels as they were before the famine began in 1845.


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.


How long has the famine been around for?
