Famine Rationalization

The explanation of mass starvation as an unavoidable act of nature ("drought"), a consequence of overpopulation, or the fault of corrupt local governments, thereby absolving the global economic systems, speculation, and colonial legacies that create vulnerable food systems and dictate distribution.
Example: A news report describing a famine as a "tragic natural disaster" caused by failed rains, while omitting how international debt regimes forced the country to shift from subsistence farming to cash crops for export, destroying local food sovereignty. This famine rationalization depoliticizes starvation.
