Food rationing

Food rationing is a system used during times of shortage or crisis to distribute limited food supplies fairly among the population. It involves allocating specific amounts of essential items to individuals or households to ensure equitable access and prevent panic buying or hoarding. Rationing can be implemented through coupons, stamps, or other controlled methods, ensuring that everyone receives a fair share based on current resources. This approach helps governments manage food supply disruptions effectively, prevent starvation, and maintain social stability during periods of war, economic hardship, or global crises.
