How to use "Scantiness" in context?
Scantiness is defined as a lack of enough food or food supplies. This can lead to malnutrition and starvation. Scarcity can also affect access to food or water, causing a humanitarian crisis. In many parts of the world, shortages are caused by factors like climate change, conflict, and population growth.
Because of global shortages, people have been forced to turn to alternative forms of food. This has led to the growth of food insecurity and food riots. Food insecurity can seriously impact people's health and wellbeing. It can also lead to social instability, poverty, and even death.
