Food prices do go up and down, and on each up, more people on the fringes of survivability die from lack of food, perhaps indirectly through disease. How high do food prices have to go before it would be classified as a shortage? The distinction seems arbitrary.

In practice it may be, but that's due to inefficient allocation, not due to a lack of resources. We have enough food to feed the entire human population. A shortage would be if we didn't.
- fjsolwmv 8y agoOK. There are often shortages of food allocation. Still shortages.
- winstonewert 8y agoWhat does "shortage of food allocation" even mean? Problems with how food is allocated is completely different sort of problem than not having enough food.
