DEFINITION

  • A food shortage typically refers to a temporary and localized situation where there is an insufficient supply of food in a specific area or community. Unlike food scarcity, which can be chronic and long-term, food shortages are often short-lived and caused by specific, immediate factors such as transportation disruptions, crop failures, price fluctuations, or sudden spikes in demand.
