International food aid keeps a famine at bay
The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) suffers high levels of food insecurity. Its harsh climate, mountainous terrain and lack of farming mechanization limit agricultural production, which shows a declining trend across all crops. A drought in 2015 worsened the situation, resulting in a 11 percent reduction in harvests on the previous year. This has led to a substantial food shortage, which is compounded by political and commercial isolation and weather-related crises.
Y I’m not doubting ya
how is this the north korean government's fault
it has a shitty climate
Why does North Korea always have to be either a shithole or a glorious utopia, y'all realize most countries are neither right?
Most countries are just kinda ehh, have bad shit have good shit
I mean sure
I don’t care about the conditions I care for the actions of the people in charge
Humanitarian stuff
what can the government do about harsh climates?
Liberalize the economy and import more food
sanctions
Maybe bring down the Kim regime while there at it
for something they cant control?
Ya
imagine if the US government was overthrown because of the dust bowl
The us had many more industry’s to really on
People didn’t starve
people didnt starve in a famine?
It wasn’t a famine
it caused one
No that’s not a famine dude a famine is when there’s no food at alln
fam·ine
ˈfamən/Submit
noun
extreme scarcity of food.
"drought could result in famine throughout the region"
synonyms: food shortages, scarcity of food; More
there just has to be an extreme scarcity of food for it to be a famine
Uggg
not no food at all
"god damn why did you have to bring in the definition of the term"
How do I explain this
The us had other states that continued farming and had the capital to import food
It was more expensive but it was there
well why would you overthrow a government for something out of its control
Because while the North Korean government shrugs while must of the elites and stay well nourished the us goverment actually did something to help the people from that area through relief programs
This real tiresome
what could the government have done
north korea isnt as big as the US
I’m not going to dismiss you because I don’t know enough
But hounestly your infatuation with gadafi doesn’t gib me to much hope
whats wrong with gaddafi
Meh dictator did some shady stuff invaded a country disappeared political opponents etc
