Famine

Signs found in Nature

Matthew 24:7 NIV (New International Version)

Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.  There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

One of the primary reasons for famine is drought  In many developing countries where famine is widespread, conservation farming is not practiced, so when the rains do come, the nutrient rich top soil is washed away, leaving only lifeless sand.  This process is called desertification.

Famine is one of the few signs that can be attributed to BOTH acts of nature AND acts of mankind.  The reasons for famine described on this page will be those attributed to acts of nature.  To learn about acts of mankind that contribute to famine, please click here.
