    Famine is currently the greatest humanitarian crisis since World War II. Political, economic, social, and environmental factors can all lead to food shortages and famines. These include things like conflicts, poverty, climate change effects, and economic downturns. Historically and today, famines have similar root causes but responses have evolved over time as awareness and capabilities have grown. However, current global food crises remain less known than they should be.
