Famine-Death Rate

Famine-Death Rate refers to the ratio of people who die due to severe food shortages within a specific population over a certain period. It measures the impact of famine on mortality, highlighting how many lives are lost when food supply is critically inadequate. A higher death rate indicates more deaths linked to famine conditions, often caused by factors like drought, war, or economic collapse. This metric helps assess the severity of food crises and the effectiveness of relief efforts, providing insight into the human cost of food shortages.
