Foamete
O foamete este o raritate de răspândire a alimentelor, cauzată de mai mulți factori, inclusiv eșecul culturilor, dezechilibrul populației sau politicile guvernamentale. Acest fenomen este de obicei însoțit sau urmat de malnutriție regională, de foame, de epidemie și de creșterea mortalității. Aproape fiecare continent din lume a cunoscut o perioadă de foamete în istorie. Unele țări, în special în Africa sub-Sahara, continuă să aibă cazuri extreme de foamete.
