Question

1.2 How a Subsistence Crisis Happens (Histoy class 9th)

Answer 1

Answer:

Subsistence crisis is a crisis caused by economic factors (generally high food prices),and which in turn may be caused by either natural or man-made factors, which threatens the food supplies and the survival prospects of large numbers of people (it is considered famine if it is extremely severe and large numbers of lives are lost).

A subsistence crisis can be considered genuine if it is visible in demographic data.

Example:

• The one prior to the French revolution, in which two years of crop failures and low yields caused a grain shortage.
• The Great Famine of 1315–1317.
