Where can I find stats on famine?

Question

I need to know the total number of deaths from famine over the last 200 years, year by year. I need to know if famine is getting better or worse since 1914.

Answer 1

Have you tried looking at the UN websites, Amnesty International, Oxfam etc?

Answer 2

You will find it very difficult to find decent stats over 20 years let alone 200.

The problem is that different surveys deal with different countries or populations over different timescales and with different criteria for qualification.  So to find global or even continental stats for that timescale is going to be almost impossible.

However, since global population has exploded since 1914 then the amount of famine is certainly higher and will continue to rise along with population.

No matter how much money is spent on famine aid it can NEVER stop famine as long as the population is too high.

Finite food = Finite population cap
