Montage - Global Starvation

Causes of starvation :

* Human population growth relative to the available supply of food, and may be due to natural climate fluctuations and by the extreme political conditions, such as a tyrannical government or war.

*An imbalance in the food production compared with the large numbers of people in countries whose population is over the regional carrying capacity. Historically, famines have occurred from the agricultural problems such as drought and crop failure, or epidemics. Changing weather patterns, and the ineffectiveness of medieval governments in dealing with crises and wars, epidemic diseases, such as the Black Death helped cause hundreds of famines in Europe during the Middle Ages.
