It's worth noting if a famine is before or after the Haber process (early 1900s). A famine in the 1900s is unusual.

- photochemsyn 3y agoThis is a somewhat simplified view. The prevention of famines is related to a wide variety of factors, not just the availability of nitrogen fertilizer, such as water infrastructure (deep wells, canals, etc. to alleviate droughts), transportation systems like railroads and jet planes (to bring food relief rapidly to famine-stricken regions), political stability (as wars can disrupt water and food infrastructure), etc.
