Subsistence crisis can be defined as an extreme situation where the basic means of livelihood are endangered. In France, due to the rapid expansion of the population from 23 million in 1715 to 28 million in 1789, a subsistence crisis occurred. A 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,[1] 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.
It was in France that the notion of a subsistence crisis was first formulated by Meuvret in 1946, and greatly popularised by Goubert in 1960 through his influential study of the Beauvaisis in Beauvais.[2] The theory of subsistence crises, in its contemporary guise, was first formulated by Meuvret in 1946.

Subsistence crisis:
A subsistence crisis is a crisis that is brought on by economic considerations (often high food prices), which may in turn be brought on by either natural or man-made forces, and that endangers the availability of food and the chances of many people surviving.
A crisis brought on by rising food prices is known as a subsistence crisis. Both natural and artificial factors can contribute to high food prices. A poor crop harvest could result in a subsistence crisis by making grains scarce in the end.
Subsistence crisis happen in French revolution:
The country's population increased from 23 million to 28 million during the French Revolution. The population growth led to a rise in the demand for food grains. All of the commodities' prices went up as well. The rise in pricing was not matched by an increase in worker pay.
Meuvret first proposed the idea of a subsistence crisis in France in 1946, and Goubert considerably popularised it in 1960 with his seminal study of the Beauvaisis in Beauvais. Meuvret developed the modern version of the idea of subsistence crises for the first time in 1946. Meuvret, an expert in pricing history and economic historian, was astounded by the connection between rising prices and a rise in fatalities in the Gien region in 1709–1710. He then raised the issue of the nature of demographic crises, at first very tentatively because he believed it was futile to attempt to statistically separate phenomena that were so closely related, such as mortality from simple inanition (starvation); mortality from infectious diseases; and mortality from other caused by illness, though attributable to hunger; and death by contagion, which in turn was connected to the shortage that contributed to both the emergence and spread of diseases through the migration of destitute beggars who can't afford breads.
