It’s common knowledge that famines are usually caused by major droughts: Rain doesn’t fall, crops don’t grow, and people go hungry. But recent research suggests that while weather may trigger famines, they may actually be more of a human-made catastrophe.
Josh and Chuck dive into the complex and sobering topic of famines, exploring what actually qualifies as a famine versus general malnutrition and food insecurity. They examine the various causes behind these devastating events, from natural disasters like droughts to the often overlooked role of government policies and political conflicts in modern famines. The hosts break down the heartbreaking statistics and symptoms while discussing how famines have evolved throughout history and why they still occur in our globalized world.
