The infrequency of severe mortality crises and the low prevalence of famine and disease are characteristics of modern industrial and post-industrial societies. Understanding the processes leading to their decline, and the associated improvements in living standards and life expectancy, is a precondition for knowing what is needed to prevent their re ...

Ecology of Food and Nutrition, 1978
In discussing famine, its causes and its results, we immediately run into problems of terminology. It seems to me, however, to be useful to think of the ontogeny of famine as involving three major sets of factors: first, background factors; second, pathological factors (precursors); and third, precipitating factors. (See Table I). For example, the 1974

For the first time, an official technical mission from the United States has obtained firsthand information on the health of the Biafran population. Their reports confirm that the extent of the caloric and protein malnutrition and the scope of outright famine make the Nigeria-Biafra conflict one of the great nutritional disasters of modern times.
