Do you believe famines are caused more by human actions or environmental factors?

Question

I know the first thing that runs through your mind is environmental factors, like drought. But when you really think about it, doesnt corrupt dictatorship and things like that play a bigger role?

Answer 1

both - humans can overfarm the land, sapping away nutrients. They can also clear cut and kill all the vegetation, so when the rain comes, all the top soil is washed away...leaving only unfarm-able clay and sand.

Nature, can cause droughts or floods, which can kill off crops.

So both factors can cause famines.

Answer 2

it's faults of goverments they waste our money flying to mars on miltary and ordinary citizen sometimes lives in the box
