Food scarcity refers to a situation where human wants for food exceeds what is available. Food scarcity encompasses both the physical availability of food and the economic accessibility to it. It indicates that the overall food production or supply in a region or country is insufficient to meet the demand, resulting in limited access to food for a significant portion of the population.
