Not only war and insecurities can make a country to have a shortage in food supply, the government policy can make food to be scares and expensive. For instance, in a situation where the government doesn't offer subsidy to farmers in agriculture, it will discourage a lot of farmers to continue and the ones farming will sell their agriculture products and produce at high price even when they are limited in number.
When the government doesn't give amenities to rural areas, it discourage the farmers. It's only when the government gives grants and loans to them, farming can loom in a country, without farmers the country will die of hunger from poor to middle-class and the rich people.
