"Famines result from a combination of human and environmental factors."

Explanation: famines typically arise from interactions between environmental shocks (drought, flood, crop disease) and human factors (poverty, war, distribution failures, policy decisions). Historical examples (Irish Potato Famine, Bengal 1943, various modern famines) show social, economic and political causes are crucial, not just the environment.
