Henry Kissinger famously said, “Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world.”

History shows us this is true – especially when it comes to controlling food.

Many people would like to believe that famines are a natural phenomenon. Unfortunately, this is seldom the case.

Time and time again, famines are man-made and the result of political agendas.

Alex de Waal, author of Mass Starvation: The History and Future of Famine, says, “Famine is a very specific political product of the way in which societies are run, wars are fought, governments are managed. The single overwhelming element in causation —in three-quarters of the famines and three-quarters of the famine deaths—is political agency. Yet we still tend to be gripped by this idea that famine is a natural calamity.”

It is a difficult pill to swallow – that one’s own country would allow their people to starve, and in some cases, purposely. And yet, history doesn’t lie.

Let’s take a look back at some of the worst man-made famines in history to better prepare ourselves for this sad possibility.
