ADINA NICOLETA FLOREA, CAMELIA MARIA MĂNESCU, NICOLETA MATEOC-SÎRB

Abstract


This paper presents a few aspects regarding the history of Europe – one of the most difficult issue from the Middle Ages until now: ensuring food supplies for the population. Food shortage, the deficit engendered by excessive taxing and by natural phenomena have led to famine, to food price increase, to cereal price crises, etc. The analysis presented in this paper points out the human weakness confronted with food shortage, with the deficit engendered by the demographic boom that could not match the high demand for resources.

Keywords


famine; food shortage; deficit
